The Public Prosecutor ordered on Friday that the Mayor of Ejkharah Municipality be taken into custody pending investigations into seizing 58 million Libyan dinars.
A statement by the Public Prosecuter's office said the funds allocated for commercial, industrial, and craft activities in the region had been appropriated from the accounts of the Tax Authority.
"The mayor deliberately put an official document that he falsely attributed to the Tax Authority, for including the amount in transfers to other accounts at the Al-Wahda Bank branch in Jalo," the office stated.
