Libya Suspends Oil Minister Pending Legal Probe

Libya Suspends Oil Minister Pending Legal Probe

Libya's oil and gas minister in the Government of National Unity has been temporarily relieved of his duties, a state institution said on Monday, due to an ongoing legal probe.

The Administrative Control Agency (ACA) said on its verified Facebook page that its head Abdullah Qadirbuh issued the suspension decision against the oil and gas minister in Tripoli for the investigation "regarding the facts of case No.178, which revealed the presence of legal violations".

The ACA mentioned the title of the minister and referred to him in a short statement with only the three initials of his full name.
