The Attorney General reported yesterday that the Public Prosecution has ordered the detention of the manager of the North Africa Bank branch in Ghadames and his assistant.
The Public Prosecution investigated the misappropriation of thirteen million dinars in bank funds, involving transfers intended to disguise the source of the money and the associated rights.
The investigation established that the accused had abused their authority by processing forged bank cheques, transferring foreign currency to cards designated for personal use despite a lack of funds in the beneficiaries' accounts, and re-discounting the value of cheques that had already been processed.
The investigator confronted the accused with the facts and legal charges against them and subsequently ordered their remand in custody pending investigation.
