The Attorney General announced Wednesday that Libya’s former Vatican City chargé d’affaires has been detained, pending the case, for alleged € 669,000 hospital bills fraud. ‎The accused is charged with administrative and financial abuse and violation of behavioural duties of the rules in force in the management of public funds. Specifically, the accused is charged with deliberately disbursing hospital bills without any documents indicating the identities of Libyan patients or assigning the treatment institution to provide them with medical service.‎‎The absence of a legal justification for the deficit in the allowances for the treatment of the wounded worth € 669,000 led the investigator to detaining the accused pending the case.‎
