CBL freezes accounts of 12 companies in major medical supply corruption probe
The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) has ordered commercial banks to freeze the current accounts of 12 companies implicated in a high-profile corruption case involving the Medical Supply Agency. The companies had received substantial payments in exchange for supplying medicines and medical equipment to hospitals and health centers, as part of contracts now under investigation. The directive was issued via an official letter from the Deputy Director of the Banking and Currency Supervision Department to bank managers, following a request from the Administrative Control Authority. The letter refers to ongoing investigations into serious violations and misconduct by officials at the Medical Supply Agency. Earlier this week, the Administrative Control Authority announced the suspension of the head of the Medical Supply Agency, along with three other agency officials and two individuals from the Administrative Control Authority, accused them of embezzling 73 million Libyan dinars through the falsification of official documents.
