The First Deputy Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, Fawzi Al-Nuwairi, met with Jeremy Brent, the acting US Chargé d’Affaires in Libya, to discuss support for “Libyan-Libyan” consensus solutions aimed at resolving the country’s political crisis.
In a statement to Libya’s “Al-Wasat” TV, House spokesperson Abdullah Blehaq conveyed that Al-Nuwairi and the US official reviewed the latest developments in Libya’s political situation and explored ways to advance toward timely presidential and parliamentary elections, aiming for a resolution led and crafted by Libyans.
Blehaq added that the meeting also addressed the need for assistance and support from the UN mission to reduce foreign interventions in the crisis and to back Libyan-led solutions and agreements.
A Tripoli Criminal Court has sentenced a former Libyan ambassador to Italy to ten years in prison for illegal financial gains, according to the Office of the Attorney General on Sunday evening.
The court reviewed evidence regarding the abuse of his official position and found sufficient proof that the former ambassador had exploited his authority for personal financial benefit. As a result, the court issued a ten-year prison sentence and ordered him to return the illicitly obtained funds.
The Attorney General’s Office emphasized that the prosecution had effectively demonstrated how the defendant misused his official role to accumulate personal wealth unlawfully.
In its final session, the court not only sentenced him to prison but also imposed financial restitution for the wrongfully obtained gains. Following this verdict, the Libyan authorities have taken steps to enforce the sentence through international cooperation mechanisms in criminal matters, ensuring the return of the illegally acquired assets.
