Libyan Public Funds End up in Turkey's Banks


Recent reports confirmed that weapons sent by Turkey to Libya were bought with money from Qatar, as well as that the militiamen who arrived on Libyan territory were transferred through the Turkish security company Sadat, owned by Adnan Tanri Verdi, a figure close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey was using the airlines Belhadj Airlines Company and Afriqiyah Airlines to transfer the mercenaries.

In this line, it should be noted that media reports revealed that the Muslim Brothers had been responsible for the dismantling and transfer of a pharmaceutical factory from Tripoli to Turkey, which provided further proof of the terrorist organization's ability to sabotage the Libyan people, at a time marked by the deterioration of public health, the upsurge in diseases and the lack of medicines. 

Libyan sources claim that millions of Libyan public funds have been looted, which have been transferred to banks in Turkey. 

Another sign of the influence of Ankara and Doha on Libyan territory is that there is a plan for both countries to host the militia leaders once they are expelled by the LNA from Haftar. Turkey and Qatar will become the sanctuary for the mercenaries once the capital Tripoli is liberated. 

It should be recalled at this point that Ankara's plans in the Libyan struggle are very ambitious. Their aim is to obtain a presence in that country of around 11,000 "volunteers", LNA Colonel Khaled Al Mahjoub said. 

So far, the Syrian Observatory has reported that, in total, almost 2,600 combatants have been sent to Tripoli, while another 1,790 recruits have entered Turkey for training courses, before being deployed to Libya. 

The first shipment of 650 militiamen took place last December, all of them belonging to the second division of the Syrian National Army (SNA), a conglomerate of Syrian rebel groups financed by Turkey. Furthermore, on 29 January, the arrival of the Turkish Army in Libya was recorded for the first time, with two warships accompanied by a helicopter.
