The Attorney General's Office has announced the seizure of 61 forged family records that enabled 225 foreigners to illegally obtain Libyan citizenship. In a statement, the Prosecution's Office said that investigations revealed the falsification of family records that were transferred from the Civil Registry Office in Ubari to the Civil Registry Offices in Hun and Sukna, in procedures that fall outside the jurisdiction of the Civil Status Authority. The investigation revealed that these procedures enabled 225 foreigners holding Malian citizenship from obtaining Libyan national identification numbers, passports, and benefit from grants allocated to Libyan citizens. Furthermore, some were able to occupy public sector jobs, along with the legal privileges associated with citizenship.
