The Libyan Attorney General’s Office has issued an order for the pretrial detention of the financial controller of the Libyan mission to Kazakhstan, following accusations of manipulating public funds and violating applicable laws.
The order was based on a report received by the Attorney General’s Office stating that the aforementioned official had committed acts considered to be detrimental to the integrity of financial oversight in the country he represents, as he was accused of misusing an amount estimated at 132,013 US dollars.
Investigators indicated that the investigations revealed serious violations, including the employment of individuals of other nationalities without the necessary powers to contract, and the illegal disposal of movable property owned by the state.
It is worth noting that this is not the first incident of its kind, as a number of officials in other Libyan missions have previously been placed in pretrial detention on similar charges related to financial and administrative corruption.
Libyan diplomatic missions are witnessing many corruption cases, as Amal Al-Jarari, head of the Libyan diplomatic mission to Belgium and Luxembourg, was previously dismissed, and a number of financial controllers in Libyan diplomatic missions abroad were imprisoned, including a former controller of public money management in the health attaché at the Libyan mission to Italy on charges related to disposing of 1,921,050 euros without legal justification.
The Libyan judiciary is also moving to uncover major corruption crimes that affected the financial resources of diplomatic missions during the period of the previous Government of National Accord, and these investigations include many officials and diplomats involved in financial and administrative corruption cases.
