Al-Qubah, January 6, 2026 – The Public Prosecution has ordered the arrest of a foreign national who forged a family registration document in the city of Al-Qubah, enabling him to obtain a national number for himself and eight of his family members.
It was stated on Tuesday that the procedures for tracking cases of civil status forgery, within the jurisdiction of the Al-Qubah Primary Court, revealed to investigators that a person holding Egyptian nationality forged a family registration document, which allowed him to obtain grants designated for Libyan families.
It was added that the forger proceeded to obtain national numbers that facilitated him, and eight of his family members, in acquiring Libyan passports and other benefits derived from citizenship. Consequently, the Prosecution ordered the signing of measures to reverse the consequences of the forgery act and directed the arrest and presentation of the foreign national.
Al-Qubah
Al-Qubah is a city in northeastern Libya, historically known for its strategic location along trade routes and its role as a center for agriculture. It gained prominence in the 19th century under Ottoman rule and later became a significant site during the Italian colonial period. Today, it is recognized for its cultural heritage and traditional architecture.
Egyptian
The term “Egyptian” broadly refers to the culture, people, and heritage of Egypt, one of the world’s oldest civilizations. A quintessential cultural site is the Giza pyramid complex, which includes the Great Pyramid built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu around 2580–2560 BC. These monumental structures reflect the ancient Egyptians’ advanced engineering and profound religious beliefs concerning the afterlife.
Libyan
Libya is a country in North Africa with a rich history that includes ancient Phoenician, Greek, and Roman settlements, most notably at the UNESCO site of Leptis Magna. In the modern era, it was an Italian colony before gaining independence in 1951 and was later ruled by Muammar Gaddafi from 1969 until the 2011 revolution. Its cultural heritage is deeply influenced by Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean traditions.
