The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Murad Hemima, on Friday, revealed an agreement with the Maltese government on a process to lift the freezing of Libyan citizens’ funds and permit them to transfer the previously frozen monies.
Hemima added, in a press statement, that citizens’ frozen accounts are held at Bank of Valletta and Satabank, confirming that there are 1,800 closed accounts in the Bank of Valletta, whereas the Satabank accounts remain under monitoring and assessment.
