Italian Media: Njeem's aide 'Al-Buti' in German custody
German authorities have arrested Khaled Al-Haishri, known as 'Al-Buti,' the aide to Osama Njeem, head of the Judicial Police Authority, who was wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC). According to the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Al-Buti had been under investigation by the ICC. The report noted that German authorities are currently considering submitting a formal extradition request to the ICC. Al-Buti is considered one of the prominent leaders of the so-called 'Rapid Intervention Force,' which had control over the 'Judicial Police Authority' under Njeem's command. He is also implicated in a series of crimes committed inside prisons run by the authority, according to a 2021 report by the UN Panel of Experts. The Italian newspaper added that the armed groups associated with Njeem—the Judicial Police and the Special Deterrence Force (Radaa)—are currently in a state of disintegration in Libya, though it did not provide further details. The arrest comes just weeks after the Libyan Attorney General's Office announced the initiation of public proceedings against Osama Njeem, under national jurisdiction, following the lifting of procedural immunity by the Ministry of Justice. A statement from the Attorney General explained that the legal procedures began with an examination of the crimes listed in the ICC arrest warrant for Anjem and a comparison with cases previously reviewed by the Libyan judiciary.

Orlando: Productive talks with Libya's Attorney General to support judicial reform
Libya's Attorney General, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour, held a meeting in the capital Tripoli with the European Union Special Envoy to Libya, Nicola Orlando, to discuss ways to enhance joint cooperation on a number of priority issues. In a post on X, ambassador Orlando said the meeting featured a fruitful dialogue on the EU's support for the priorities of the Prosecutor General's Office—particularly in the areas of combating human and fuel smuggling, corruption, and money laundering. He also highlighted the importance of information sharing with the EU's naval Operation IRINI, especially concerning suspected oil and fuel smuggling operations, as part of joint efforts to tackle transnational organized crime. The two sides also discussed ways to improve detention conditions in Libyan prisons, review the status of detainees, and ensure respect for standards of justice and human rights. The meeting emphasized the need to support the justice system—especially juvenile justice—and to create the right conditions for holding free and fair municipal elections across the country. It also stressed the importance of strengthening oversight and accountability institutions as key pillars of the rule of law. According to the European official's post, both parties expressed their agreement on deepening their effective partnership and continuing close coordination and cooperation in the coming months in a way that serves stability and supports national institutions.
