The Attorney General’s Office reported last Tuesday (31 December 2024) that in its last session, the Tripoli Criminal Court of Appeal convicted former National Commercial Bank (NCB) employees for attempting to defraud the bank of LD 2.4 million.
The convicted attempted to fraudulently deduct the amount out of the bank’s Dahra branch payroll accounts. They then entered the amount in a transfer ring to bank accounts managed by relatives of one of the employees with the intention of disguising the money’s source and making it available from a source that appears to be legitimate.
As a result, the Tripoli Criminal Court convict the branch manager, his assistant, the head of the accounting department and the head of the current accounts department to a prison sentence of three years.
It imposed a prison sentence of two years on a female bank branch employee. It also obligated each convict to pay LD 336,035 and deprived them of their civil rights during the execution of the sentence.
