Tripoli – The Public Prosecution has ordered the pre-trial detention of the General Manager of the Libyan Post, Telecommunications, and Information Technology Holding Company, and the company’s Director of the Financial Department, pending investigation into a corruption case.
The Attorney General’s Office clarified on Wednesday that investigations revealed the accused disbursed $137,000 and £86,000 from a bank account they were not authorized to manage, and without providing proof of the integrity of the expenditure, according to a statement published on its official Facebook page.
The Administrative Control Authority had previously demanded that the company terminate the contracts of 709 employees who were receiving salaries from companies within the sector and from other entities at the same time, in violation of the provisions of Law No. 8 of 2014. It also stressed the necessity of fulfilling legal requirements before concluding any future contracts to prevent dual employment.
