Tripoli, December 17, 2025 (LANA) – The Public Prosecutor's Office has suspended the issuance of 598 national identification numbers to foreigners through forged family records at the Sirte Central Civil Registry Office. This action is part of the office's efforts to prevent the manipulation of citizenship data and address its detrimental economic, social, and political consequences.
The Public Prosecutor's Office stated that investigators examining cases of civil registry data forgery uncovered a breach of responsibility in the management of the data system at the Sirte Central Civil Registry Office. They discovered irregularities involving the forgery of family records, which resulted in the issuance of 598 national identification numbers to foreigners. These individuals then used documents based on these forged records and numbers to obtain full citizenship rights.
The investigation necessitated the issuance of a suspension order for the national identification numbers in question, a review of the related administrative transactions, and the initiation of criminal proceedings against those responsible for the forgery.
