The two Bulgarian employees of the company “Bulgargeomin” who have been detained for illegal alcohol production have to sign their names once a week in order to prove that they are on the territory of Libya, foreign ministry spokeswoman Elena Poptodorova explained. The investigation of the prosecutors continues and there are no new details on the case, Poptodorova explained. One of the two engineers lives in the Libyan capital Tripoli, the other one went back to the camp of Bulgargeomin. The two Bulgarians who were arrested on January 3 in Libya for illegal production of alcohol were released on January 10. No charges have yet been raised against the two Bulgarians yet. In the night of January 3, Libyan policemen entered the Bulgargeomin camp near Tripoli where they found an alcohol production facility. Three of the employees of the Bulgarian company Bulgargeomin who were in the room where the production facility was stored were immediately detained. After being interrogated, one of the Bulgarians was released. The Libyan laws ban alcohol production and envisage harsh punishment for such production, use and distribution of alcohol.
