During a televised interview for Libyan WTV channel and Tabadul Platform, the official spokesman for the customs authority, Fahmi al-Maqouri announced that during the past three years, the Customs Department has seized fake letters of credit of 300 companies and thousands of fictitious containers, during seizure operations that covered all the ports. He also clarified that all of the seized cases have been forwarded to the competent authorities.
As far as AKAKUS is concerned, al-Maqouri said the company was given letters of credit with the value of 2.300 million euros so as to import sheep. However, the company did not import anything. Instead, the process was only limited to papers, procedures and documents.
“The case has been discovered by the Brigadier General Abdul Hakim Absa.” He added.
