The Attorney General’s Office reported today that the Public Prosecution has ordered the detention of a Qaddafi-era accused of a LD 100 million fraud against the state. The Deputy Prosecutor, at the Public Prosecutor’s Office, investigated the legitimacy of the administrative authority’s demand to pay one hundred million dinars to one of the enforcement tools in exchange for equipping the Qaddafi era 1st of September ‘‘Al-Fateh’’ celebration venues from 2006 to 2009. The investigation revealed that the company’s commissioner intended to defraud the state by deliberately presenting bank cheques falsely attributed to the Libyan Development and Investment Holding Company (LIDCO) for the purpose of collecting the claimed amount. The investigation also resulted in proving the forgery of the contracts with which the accused challenged the administrative authority. Accordingly, the Public Prosecution decided to detain him pending investigation.
