The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, discussed with the Attorney General, Al-Siddiq Al-Sour, a number of joint files that require cooperation between the judicial and executive authorities.
The two parties also followed up on the measures taken with the State of Tunisia regarding the recovery of the two suspects in the killing of citizen Abdel Majid Mlegta.
Last Wednesday, the Attorney General discussed with the Minister of Interior in the Council of Ministers of the Tunisian Republic, and the Director General of the Borders and Foreigners Department in the Ministry, the extradition of wanted persons in accordance with the systems adopted in the two countries.
It is noteworthy that the Attorney General announced that he received the decision of the head of the Intelligence Service (Hussein Al-Aib) to lift the procedural restrictions on 13 members of the service, in connection with the case of targeting Abdul Majeed Mlegta.
Qaja case
In the context of the meeting with Dabaiba and the photos, the completion of the investigation with citizen Abdul Rahman Qajah by the Public Prosecutor’s Authority was discussed, in accordance with the Riyadh Agreement in particular.
The Attorney General’s Office had requested the Saudi authorities to hand over Qajah to the Libyan authorities and not to hand him over to Tunisia.
The Attorney General said in a letter, a copy of which was obtained by Al-Ahrar, that Qajah is accused of the crime of money laundering, which is outside the political and military crimes that do not allow the extradition of the accused.
The Attorney General also pointed out that the procedural rules in force in Libya do not permit his extradition to another country, demanding that he be extradited in accordance with the rules of reciprocity.
The Public Prosecution had previously requested that the criminal proceedings be transferred to the Libyan Public Prosecution and that it be provided with the documents and papers that would ensure that the person concerned could be tracked down in the procedures, considering him a Libyan citizen practicing his commercial activity on Libyan territory.
The Attorney General expressed his hope that the competent authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would approve the extradition request based on the treatment of the extradition request submitted by the country of the person wanted for extradition.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, Qajah made bank transfers during the period from 2013 to 2026 by managing bank accounts in the Republic of Tunisia, and those transfers were recorded in the accounts of the company “Wilmaz General Trading”.
According to the investigations, Qajah relied on commercial documents of questionable integrity because they did not contain the data that is supposed to be available in commercial invoices, and other persons intervened in carrying out financial transactions of unknown origin and destination.
Qajah has been in prison in Saudi Arabia for more than 65 days after arriving in Ramadan to perform Umrah, and he is in poor health, according to his family.
The Qajah family appealed to the Libyan authorities to intervene urgently to return Abdulrahman Qajah to his homeland before his health deteriorates.
