Attorney General arrests Zeidan’s former Deputy Prime Minister Abdulkarim on several charges of corruption – report and analysisBy Sami Zaptia. The Attorney General had announced that she had also been arrested on the accusation of corruption. The announcements of arrests on corruption charges bode well for the new post-Qaddafi era Libya. Many Libyans seeking the posts of high office do so motivated by the desire to skim off some of the highly centralized state’s rentier wealth.
