Reuters reports that the internationally recognised Libyan government in Tobruk has appointed a former Central Bank governor under the Gaddafi regime as a trustee of the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), the country's sovereign wealth fund.
Farhat Bengdara subsequently defected to the anti-Gaddafi side during the civil war.
Control of the fund is disputed between the LIA's headquarters in Tripoli, and the Tobruk government.
Much of the LIA's estimated $67 billion in assets remain frozen by UN sanctions.
