The Public Prosecution has uncovered forgery involving national identification numbers in the city of Msallata after a foreign national conspired with a public employee to use a family registration number belonging to a lineage that had died out, in exchange for the employee receiving twenty-five thousand dinars. According to a statement issued Thursday by the Attorney General’s Office, the foreign national obtained a family record that enabled eleven members of his family to extract national ID numbers and benefit from rights arising from citizenship. The prosecutor ordered the suspect to be remanded in custody pending investigation, the suspension of the issued administrative documents, the tracing of financial gains resulting from the forgery, and the arrest and summoning of the civil registry employee.
