London .- British officials today reported the interception of a ship-board currency Libya allegedly went to the North African country, in compliance with the UN-approved sanctions against the regime in Libya. The Ministry of Interior reported that the boat was intercepted by a Coast Guard, which escorted him to the port of Harwich (on the coast off northern English Channel).
"A ship bound for Libya returned to the UK on Wednesday morning. The boat was escorted to the port of Harwich and the Coast Guard Customs Agency HMS Vigilant," said a spokesman for the Home Office. "They landed the ship several containers, which are under the control of the Customs Agency in the UK and have been transferred to a safe place," the spokesman said.
"We understand that the load contained a significant amount of Libyan currency, which is subject to UN sanctions," he added. According to various British media, the amount intercepted was the equivalent of 100 million pounds (116.5 million euros or 162.8 million dollars) in LD, but the Interior Ministry did not specify the amount seized.
According to these investigations, the boat had returned to British waters after an abortive attempt to enter the port of Tripoli last weekend. The British Ministry of Economy this week froze Libyan assets in the UK, valued at 900 million pounds (1,048 million euros, or 1.465 million dollars) and banned the unlicensed export of new Libyan currency originating in the United Kingdom , in line with UN sanctions.
