The Attorney General’s Office reported yesterday that its Public Prosecutor has ordered the pretrial detention, pending investigation, of the former Director of the Documentation Department at the Civil Registry Authority and the official of the Inspection and Review Office in the CRA before 2020.
The Attorney General’s Office reported that first results of the interrogation showed that the defendants, along with others, conspired to include 200 family records in favour of persons who do not belong to the State of Libya with their nationality, falsifying residency data, transfer, subscription for the benefit of holders of false identities, and placing documents that illegally enabled a group of individuals to use false national numbers, for which they obtained rights generated by citizenship.
The investigator also inferred that that the defendants abused the powers of the job entrusted to them, by deliberately forcing five female employees to record these data that violated the nationality and civil registry system.
As a result, the Public Prosecutor ordered the pretrial detention of the defendants pending investigation and proceeded with the comprehensive review procedures to verify the grounds for entitlement to Libyan citizenship.
