Libya: 86,000 litres of fuel seized amid smuggling crackdown

Libya’s Attorney General reported on August 17th that 86,000 litres of petrol and diesel have been seized in raids in the northwestern Libyan municipality of Ajilat, according to the Libya Herald.

The seizure follows a fuel shortage crisis in Western Libya, being dealt with through raids and arrests as part of an anti-fuel smuggling campaign.

The 86,000 litres seized were in areas where fuel is traded for purposes other than the use it is intended for.
