A source reported to “218News” Wednesday that the Investigation Department of the Attorney General’s Office has ordered the imprisonment of “Fawzi Al-Ramalli”, director of the Africa Trade and Investment Company in Mauritius, affiliated to the Libya Aid Fund, on corruption charges.

The source indicated that Al-Ramalli “used public money entrusted to him by virtue of his position for purposes other than those for which it was allocated. He was also accused of continuing to practice his job after learning of his dismissal from his duties, as he was accused of using a forged document.”

The source confirmed that the Investigation Department of the Public Prosecutor’s Office also ordered the imprisonment of the director of the Sahara Bank, the Al-Mukhtar Branch, on charges of abusing power to achieve the benefit of others.

Another source also told 218News”, on Wednesday, that the Investigation Department in the Office of the Public Prosecutor had ordered the imprisonment of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of African Airlines, Mustafa Muhammad Maatouq, on charges of inflicting serious damage to public money.

On Tuesday, the Public Prosecutor ordered the detention of the Mayor of Janzour Municipality, Eng. Faraj Miloud, and charged him with abuse of power and influence.

While yet another source explained to “218News” that the imprisonment of Miloud came against the background of forcing the workers at the transfer station west of Tripoli 220 not to implement the program of discharging the loads to maintain the stability of the network and the fair distribution between the regions, which caused it to be charged to some other areas and the electricity was cut off for a long time.

It is noteworthy that the Attorney General ordered the implementation of several large-scale arrests of a number of officials in the Al-Wefaq government against the background of accusations of embezzlement and manipulation of public funds.
