Malta is mentioned in this Deutsche Welle report about cash fraud in Libya. Libyan crooks and fraudsters are going to banks in Tripoli with fraudulent documents issued in Malta saying that the Maltese business has sold goods to the bearer. These documents are then used to acquire permission to transfer foreign currency to Malta, using the excuse that this is payment for the goods bought. But then the goods never arrive in Tripoli.
