Private sources confirmed to “the Libyan Sada newspaper” that the prison order was issued for cases of financial and administrative corruption committed by al-Sallabi outside Libya.

The investigation began months ago when the steering committee sent documents to the prosecutor’s office proving that al-Sallabi was involved in the case, the sources said.
The committee said: The property seized included “the Society’s branch office, Block No. 27, John Babha Avenue, Kololo (Kampala), as well as the land and real estate of Block No. 99, Kira Rood (Kampala), along with land belonging to Block No. 99, Bukoto Astrit (Kampala) and land in Masaka District, Block No. 266″.
