At least three participants in UN-led Libya peace talks held in Tunisia in November were offered bribes to vote for a prime ministerial candidate, a UN report published Tuesday found. During the forum’s initial round, “the panel established that at least three participants were offered bribes to vote for a specific candidate as prime minister,” the report states. The names of those involved were not disclosed, though were included in a confidential annex to the report. On March 2, the presidential council and Dbeibah in a statement called on UN experts to publish their report into the bribe attempts. Libya’s parliament last week approved a unity government headed by Dbeibah, who was sworn in Monday.
