A criminal case against a company in Switzerland on suspicion of involvement in the looting of Libyan oil

A Swiss court opens a criminal case "on suspicion of war crimes by involvement in looting" after two Swiss NGOs accused the Swiss company Colmar Group of doing business between 2014 and 2015 with a powerful Libyan fuel smuggling network.

A Swiss court has opened a criminal case "on suspicion of war crimes by involvement in looting" as part of an investigation into a Libyan network that smuggled fuel from which the Swiss company Colmar Group may have purchased.

The Federal Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Agence France-Presse Thursday this information, which was published by the investigative website "Gotham City".

In an investigation published in March 2020, Swiss NGOs Public Eye and Trail International accused the Swiss company Colmar Group of doing business between 2014 and 2015 with a powerful Libyan fuel smuggling network.

On Thursday, the Federal Prosecutor's Office indicated that it had received between May and June 2020 "a communication from a non-governmental organization and a letter from a communications office regarding money laundering indicating an identical context."

The office explained that it is related to "a network to smuggle diesel by sea after it was looted from the oil refineries of the Libyan state between 2014 and 2015 in the context of the Libyan conflict."

After conducting a preliminary analysis of the facts and a legal assessment of the case, the suspicions were found to be “sufficient,” and the Swiss Federal Prosecutor’s Office “ordered in November 2020 the opening of a criminal case against unknown persons suspected of having committed war crimes through involvement in the looting.”

The Public Prosecutor's Office does not intend to disclose any information given that the case is ongoing.

Founded in 1997, Colmar employs 250 people worldwide and owns a biofuel plant in the United States.

According to Trail International, the company based in the canton of Zug (central) “received more than 50,000 tons of diesel in 2014 and 2015 from the Libyan Zawiya (city) refinery, which was then under the control of the Victory Martyrs Brigade, which the United Nations suspects of perpetrating. Several crimes.

According to Public Eye, Colmar has filed a criminal complaint for defamation and slander against three of its employees.

"Opening a criminal investigation into war crimes and looting sends a strong signal to all companies operating in conflict zones: it is essential that their activities respect international humanitarian law," said Philip Grant, director of Trail International.
