‎The Attorney General’s Office reported today that Prosecutors have order the detention of former officials responsible for managing administrative and financial affairs, the treasury, the financial department, and the financial control department at the Ministry of Labour.‎‎Investigating the seizure of public funds deposited in the account of the Ministry of Labour at the Central Bank of Libya, the investigator inferred that the accused caused serious damage to its funds as a result of behaviour incompatible with their job duties. This was represented in the defendant’s access to bank instruments in which financial values were recorded and ordered to be paid as financial dues to one of ‎‎the Ministry’s female employees, deliberately falsified the data of the instruments, and then presenting them to the branch of the Jumhouria Bank – Mizdah and seizing LD 1.347 million. As a result, the investigator detained the defendants, pending investigation, and ordered the seizure and bringing of the beneficiary of the seized money.‎
