On Wednesday, the Attorney General’s Office, led by Siddiq Al-Sour, announced the imprisonment of the former acting head of Libya’s mission to the Vatican on charges of financial misconduct amounting to 669,000 euros.
The prosecution’s statement indicated that the accused had violated the established rules for managing public funds by deliberately disbursing payments for medical bills without any documents proving the identities of the Libyan patients or authorizing the medical institution to provide them with services.
The Attorney General’s Office confirmed that there was no legal justification for the shortfall in the allocations for treating the wounded, amounting to 669,000 euros.
Earlier this month, the Attorney General’s Office ordered the imprisonment of the former head of the Libyan Embassy in Portugal for his involvement in embezzling over 815,000 dollars, which he illegally transferred to an institution in Tunisia without any documents or medical bills proving the corresponding medical services were provided.
Previously, three former ambassadors in Ukraine were also imprisoned after being found guilty of embezzling allocations for medical treatments and education and obtaining foreign currency for themselves and others.
Similarly, the Libyan ambassador to South Africa, his predecessor in the same position, and the financial controller at the embassy were imprisoned after it was proven that they had unlawfully obtained tens of thousands of foreign currency in violation of legal regulations.
The former ambassador to Uganda faced the same fate, charged with misappropriating $250,000 in a manner inconsistent with governing legislation.
It is worth noting that dozens of cases are currently under investigation concerning financial scandals uncovered within the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the expired Government of National Unity led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh.
