The Libyan Public Prosecution announced that a criminal lawsuit against the Coast Guard branch official in Zuwara was imprisoned, and that four members of the agency were imprisoned for planning to transfer illegal immigrants to the northern Mediterranean.

According to a statement issued by the Public Prosecutor’s office on his Facebook page, the prosecutor conducted an investigation into the accident of a member of the Criminal Investigation Department branch with a live bullet during the arrest of four people involved in organizing illegal immigration operations off the coast of the city of Zuwara.
