Libya orders detention of top fuel distribution executives

The investigation revealed that these directors failed to ensure fuel availability to the public and neglected adherence to contractual regulations at their distribution outlets. Some directors authorized fuel disbursement to outlets without valid licenses or to those linked to fuel smuggling. Others arbitrarily withheld fuel distribution due to dissatisfaction with quotas.

The investigation also uncovered the disbursement of fuel to fictitious distribution outlets, including some designated by GPS locations outside Libyan territory. The Sales Manager of Brega Company is accused of enabling private entities to obtain subsidized fuel intended for ordinary citizens. The Public Prosecution has ordered the detention of the accused, suspended 36 distribution points, and will prosecute others involved in these activities.
