The Attorney General’s Office reported (last Wednesday 5 February) that Tripoli Criminal Court convicted three Aman Bank employees to six years imprisonment each for foreign currency allowance forgery.
Revealing the details of the case, the Attorney General’s Office said the Public Prosecution examined three defendants who abused their job duties at the bank by using forged documents. These enabled them to obtain a (Visa) debit card in the name of one of the bank’s customers for the purpose of obtaining the customer’s annual foreign exchange allowances allocated to heads of households, without his knowledge and consent.
In its last session, the Tripoli Criminal Court convicted the first accused in his presence to six years in prison, and the return of the proceeds of the crime. The court convicted the second and third in absentia, imposing a six-year prison sentence.
