The Chargé d’Affairs of the Libyan Embassy in Ukraine, Adel Bin Issa, told our source channel regarding the Public Prosecution’s order to imprison three former heads of the Libyan mission to Ukraine on charges of infringing on the allocations for providing medical service and the allocations for sending to study in Ukraine.
Ben Issa, who assumed his duties as Chargé d’Affairs at the Libyan Embassy in Ukraine at the end of the year 2020, said: “We respect the decisions of the Attorney General’s Office and there is no authority over the judiciary. We are not in a hurry to judge colleagues, especially since the Attorney General’s Office mentioned that detention is precautionary and that facts and questionnaires may appear that justify the act, if any,” noting that “like any head of mission who receives his duties, we will look forward, not backward, and we will benefit from the mistakes of those who preceded us in the job. We are all subject to questioning and interrogation by the judicial and regulatory agencies, and this honors us. Long live the rule of law and justice.”
The Public Prosecution had ordered the detention of three heads of the mission of the State of Libya to the Republic of Ukraine, who held the position from 2012 to 2019, pending investigation in the case of infringement of allocations for providing medical service and allocations for scholarship to study in Ukraine, causing serious damage to public money and collecting hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange for themselves and others in violation of the legislation regulating financial work and the controls for maintaining public money.
