The Libyan Public Prosecution announced the imprisonment of the former charge d’affaires of the diplomatic mission to Portugal and the financial controller on charges of seizing a huge amount of money allocated for the treatment of Libyan patients.
The announcement was made based on an investigation conducted by the prosecution based on information contained in the reports of the Court of Audit, where it was found that there were irregularities in administrative and financial procedures related to the provision of medical services to Libyans in Portugal.
According to a statement published by the Attorney General’s Office on its official Facebook page, the two defendants in the case deliberately bypassed financial procedures, seizing an estimated amount of 815,667 euros of funds intended for the treatment of Libyan patients.
The statement pointed out that the defendants transferred the money to a bank account belonging to a company in Tunisia without having any documents proving that they received the corresponding medical service, which is a serious violation of financial and administrative laws.
The prosecution decided to detain the defendants in pretrial detention pending investigation, pending the completion of investigations, and bringing them to trial on charges of seizing public funds and violations in financial procedures.
