Top Libyan Prosecutor Opens Probe Into 16 Officials Over Deadly Dam Collapse
TUNIS (Sputnik) – On September 10, Libya experienced torrential rains caused by Storm Daniel. They caused destructive flooding in the country's east, where the cities of Susah and Derna were declared natural disaster zones. The death toll has reached thousands and continues to rise as thousands more are still missing.
The chief Libyan prosecutor has launched an investigation into 16 current and former officials responsible for water resources and dam management over the deadly
collapse of two dams near the eastern city of Derna.
"They are responsible for negligent execution of administrative and financial duties," the statement from the prosecutor general's office read.
The ex-mayor of Derna is one of the suspects under investigation.
Last week, protests took place in the flood-hit Libyan city of Derna, turning up in the city council's dissolution, Libyan newspaper Al-Marsad reported.
