The Public Prosecution imprisoned the former official in charge of monitoring the agricultural and livestock sector in the municipality of Zliten
The Chief Prosecutor of the Public Prosecutor’s Office had earlier initiated investigation procedures regarding the crimes of forgery of official documents, embezzlement, and appropriation of public funds allocated for surveillance. The evidence was based on the orientation of the behavior of the observer of the agricultural sector in the municipality towards depriving the sector’s employees of the job benefits and financial rights assigned to them, and in particular holding them without legal basis, from enabling the employees from the financial allowances allocated to them and disposing of the corresponding financial values without right to his interest under the statement of accrued rewards.
The evidence-gathering procedures also resulted in proving the misappropriation of heavy agricultural machinery, as well as electricity supply equipment intended for the sector by the accused. Thus, the investigator decided to order his pretrial detention and proceed with the request to complete the rest of the procedures.
