The Internal Security Agency (ISA) announced last Monday (15 July) that it had arrested several foreign workers, and referred them to the judiciary, for the falsification of official personal documents (National ID Numbers).
The arrestees are accused of forging and using official Libyan documents such as marriage contracts, ID cards, passports, driver’s licenses, and bank cards.
They are accused of exploiting the forged documents to obtain many advantages and using them for multiple and varied purposes, including marrying Libyan citizens, which, the ISA said, sometimes made the accused enjoy more advantages than Libyan citizens.
This, the ISA said, has led to the control by these accused of some vital and commercial facilities and to their penetration of some sectors, unnoticeably, due to ignorance, inaction and lack of sense of responsibility from the concerned Libyan authorities.
The ISA said these arrests come within the duties and responsibilities entrusted to it and that require it to protect the security of Libya from all threats to its national, political, economic and social security.
