The Attorney General announced the imprisonment of an employee at the Jumhouria Bank – Al-Rashid branch in the capital, Tripoli, - and another person on charges of embezzling 3.5 million dinars from the bank’s funds.
The Attorney General's Office explained, in a post on its Facebook page, that Anti-Corruption Prosecution within the jurisdiction of the Tripoli Court of Appeal conducted an investigation into the incident of obtaining illegal benefits in the bank branch.
The investigation revealed that the employee embezzled three million and 500 thousand dinars by deliberately deducting the amount from the bank's funds, then he made bank transfers to the account of a partner with whom he conspired.
Based on the evidence, the two people took the money, and thus the investigator ended up detaining them both pending investigation.
