The Anti-Corruption Prosecution of the Tripoli Court of Appeal ordered the detention of a former director of the Jumhouria Bank, Al-Qadisiyah branch, and another person on corruption charges.
Investigations revealed that the former director carried out illegal banking operations, through which he sought to achieve financial benefits for himself and the other accused, a statement from the Public Prosecutor’s Office said on Monday.
“The director deliberately deducted 500,000 dinars (USD 100,000) from the bank’s money, after accepting bank instruments that are not matched by balances of a similar value in the account of the second suspect, and then enabled him to obtain the amount, causing damage to public money,” the statement added.
