Advisor to the Libyan Human Rights Organization: The international community is responsible for corruption in Libya
The legal advisor to the Libyan Organization for Human Rights, Abu Ajila Ali Al-Alaqi, rules out that the Libyan judiciary will be able to open investigations with senior state officials against the backdrop of the current situation the country is experiencing.
Al-Alaqi stressed, in a statement to Maghreb Voices, that Libya suffers from the absence of a unified authority and the absence of official institutions that can carry out this task in the best way.
He pointed out that the structure of financial corruption in Libya goes from top to bottom, meaning that many influential officials are concerned with the issue in view of what is rumored about their actions in violation of the law, but despite this, the Public Prosecution finds itself unable to subject them to any judicial investigation.
He stated that the Libyan scene contains many contradictions in this field due to the lack of independence of the judiciary from the executive bodies that determine its budget and appoint its men, despite the fact that many parties in it are directly or indirectly concerned with corruption files.
He explained that the international community is also responsible for what is happening in Libya in light of some countries’ insistence on dealing with figures involved in drug cases, currency smuggling, and other violations.
