Today, Wednesday, the Public Prosecution ordered the detention of two former financial controllers at the Libyan embassy in the Czech Republic pending investigation on charges of abusing their job powers to obtain tens of thousands of foreign exchange.
The Deputy Prosecutor in the Office of the Attorney General initiated the preliminary investigation procedures regarding a report submitted by the members of the Audit Bureau, which included results that indicated the misconduct of the financial controllers attributed to the mission. The investigation revealed that the defendants deliberately abused their job powers for the purpose of collecting tens of thousands of foreign exchange for themselves and others, and causing serious damage to public money as a result of their violation of the rules governing its disbursement, so the Public Prosecution ended up ordering their detention pending investigation.
