The Libyan Public Prosecution reported on Monday evening the imprisonment of officials at the Dhahra branch of the National Commercial Bank in Tripoli on charges of corruption and embezzlement.

According to a statement by the Attorney General’s Office, the Anti-Corruption Prosecution dealt with corruption cases linked to financial transactions carried out by one of the employees by transferring two million and 400 thousand dinars.

The statement said that the employee transferred the amount from the payroll account to the bank accounts of her relatives, to hide the source of the funds.

The investigations led to the responsibility for damage to public funds to the branch manager and his deputy, the head of the accounting department and the head of the current accounts department.

The Public Prosecution considered that the detainees participated by allowing the implementation of financial transfers related to funds embezzled by crime, despite the lack of supporting documents for these transfers.

According to the statement, it was decided to imprison those responsible for banking operations, and to issue instructions to the judicial authorities to arrest the accused.
