| Britain seizes £100 million on Libyan boat |
| 2011-03-04 |
| British authorities have intercepted a ship carrying £100 million in Libyan currency and escorted it to Harwich port. The ship had tried to dock in Tripoli over the weekend, but decided it was unsafe and proceeded to Britain, tracked by UK authorities. The seized currency is now subject to UN action. The operation, authorised by COBRA, came days after Britain prevented the export of £850m in Libyan bank notes, which were printed in the north of England, to Tripoli. |
