The Libyan Public Prosecutor’s Office announced that the fire, which broke out in one of the warehouses of the Electrical Works Company in Tripoli, was deliberate to conceal incidents of embezzlement.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the fire was caused by the placement of flammable materials at a site containing equipment for the production and transmission of electrical energy, which led to the outbreak of fires that caused huge losses to the company.
The Public Prosecution explained on its Facebook page that the Public Defender’s Office at the South Tripoli Court of Appeal supervised the investigation into the fire incident.
The damage caused by the fire amounted to one hundred and seventy-nine million three hundred and seventy thousand two hundred and sixty-four euros, and the investigating authority attributed the fire to concealing embezzlement of some of the store’s assets.
A number of company officials were arrested, including administrative, commercial, warehouse, security, and safety affairs, in addition to two guards, and the Public Prosecution directed the arrest of the rest of the suspects, including the company’s chairman of the company’s board of directors.
