Maltese authorities have seized counterfeit Libyan money worth $1.1 billion that was printed by a Russian firm and worsen the north African country's economic problems, the US State Department said.
There was no official statement on Saturday from Valletta although Malta Today newspaper had published a report about $1.1 billion in counterfeit money seized in Malta on its Facebook site that was no longer available.
"The United States commends the Government of the Republic of Malta's announcement May 26 of its seizure of $1.1 billion of counterfeit Libyan currency printed by Joint Stock Company Goznak - a Russian state-owned company - and ordered by an illegitimate parallel entity," the State Department said.
"The Central Bank of Libya headquartered in Tripoli is Libya's only legitimate central bank," the US diplomatic arm said in a statement on its website.
"The influx of counterfeit, Russian-printed Libyan currency in recent years has exacerbated Libya's economic challenges," it added.
Washington vowed to continue working with the United Nations and international partners "to deter illicit activities that undermine Libya's sovereignty and stability," it added.
