The Speaker of the House of Representatives Aqila Saleh sent an official letter to the Attorney General, demanding that a criminal case be filed against all those involved in what he described as “storming the headquarters of the Central Bank of Libya” in Tripoli.
Saleh accused the Presidential Council and the Government of National Unity of being “behind this operation,” saying that they have committed “crimes by attacking the sanctity of this place and the freedom of its employees, seizing the bank’s funds, and halting the work of its systems, which has disrupted banking work in general.”
Meanwhile, Al-Siddiq Al-Kabir, in his capacity as Governor of the Central Bank, also sent a letter to the Attorney General in which he accused six officials (Abdul Fattah Ghaffar, Mohammad Al-Shahoubi, Ali Ishtiwi, Adel Ishtiwi, Fathi Al-Majbari, and Mohammad Al-Geraish) of “storming the Central Bank.”
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Libya, assigned by the Presidential Council, announced last Monday, after entering the bank’s headquarters, that it had assumed full management of the bank, and was committed to a smooth transition, warning against “attempts of disruption by the previous administration.”
