Sources close to the family of Libyan businessman Abdul Rahman Qajah reported that he was arrested upon his arrival in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The sources indicated that the reason for the arrest was due to Tunisia’s circulating and issuing a summons card to the Arab Interpol due to slander and false information that the Tunisian authorities took from some media outlets and social media pages without evidence.

In early May, the head of the Libyan Business Owners Council, Rashid Sawan, called on the head of the outgoing National Unity Government, Abdul Hamid Al-Dbeibeh, to intervene regarding the Tunisian authorities issuing an arrest warrant against Qajah, without explaining the reason.

Sawan continued, “The matter does not amount to issuing an international arrest warrant, and it was possible to write to the Libyan government, especially since we have a strong economic and intra-trade relationship, as one can inquire about any matter regarding any Libyan businessman who has banking transactions between the two countries.”

Sawan suggested to Dbeibeh to form a committee, which includes a delegation from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, Economy, Trade and Finance, the Central Bank of Libya and the Business Owners Council, and to visit Tunisia, to find out this problem, which included a large number of Libyan businessmen whose accounts in Tunisia were suspended, and to find out the reasons for fueling the situation. In this way, according to him.

It is noteworthy that Abdul Rahman Qajah is a businessman and is considered one of the notables of the city of Tripoli and owns a chain of stores, “Qajah Jewelry,” for luxury jewelry and accessories.
