Third Libya Minister Detained Over Alleged Graft
Asharq Al-AwsatLibya's health minister and his deputy have been detained as part of a corruption probe, prosecutors said Wednesday, the third detention of a cabinet member in recent weeks. Libya has been mired in perpetual crisis since the 2011 revolt that toppled dictator Moamer Kadhafi, and corruption is rife throughout state institutions. Zenati's detention comes after prosecutors questioned Culture Minister Mabrouka Touki in late December over a contract for maintenance works on ministry buildings which had already been refurbished. That came a week and a half after Libya's Education Minister Moussa al-Megarief was arrested as part of an inquiry into a lack of schoolbooks. Megarief remains in detention, while Touki was held for a few days then released, although she remains under investigation.
