The Libyan Criminal Investigation Service announced the arrest of a person with Chadian nationality, born in the city of Zawiya, after discovering that he had forged several official Libyan documents using three different identities.
Doubts about this person increased after the Anti-Counterfeiting and Counterfeiting Department received a report indicating a discrepancy in his identity documents.
It was later revealed that he possessed documents containing a Libyan name and a national number, in addition to a receipt for an identity card and a driver’s license with different Libyan names for the same person, which raised suspicions about him.
The agency stated that, after investigations, it became clear that the accused had been married to a Libyan citizen since 2021, and she was not aware of the forgery he had carried out and had given birth to a baby girl a month ago, and the baby had not been registered yet.
Security personnel arrested the accused in the Al-Salam neighborhood, where he confessed to forging documents in exchange for sums of money provided to him by a person from the city of Tripoli in 2019.
He also admitted that he did not know the 14 people mentioned in the false family status, nor was he related to them, and that they were not all Libyans.
Cases of forgery are a phenomenon that spread during the Libyan war, as the Libyan Attorney General, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour, revealed cases of forgery in the personal status system in 2022, during a press conference held on August 17, 2022.
This fraud allowed thousands of people to benefit from hundreds of millions of dinars from the state treasury in the form of government salaries and grants without right.
During the Libyan elections, 15,000 forged electoral cards were detected in the National Congress elections in 2012, and 3,829 forged cards were detected in the elections that were supposed to be held at the end of last year, and 48,000 national numbers issued to non-Libyans were stopped.
