LONDON – A British judge has adjourned a hearing on rival claims to head Libya's $67 billion sovereign wealth fund, saying he expects Libya to clarify the situation soon.
Hassan Bouhadi and Abdulmagid Breish both claim to be chairman of the Libyan Investment Authority.
Libya has splintered since Moammar Gadhafi was deposed in 2011, with two rival governments vying for control.
Tripoli-based Breish claims to be the authority's legitimate head, but Bouhadi says he was appointed by the internationally recognized government based in eastern Libya.
Judge William Blair — brother of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair — said Monday he was adjourning the case after being informed by Britain's Foreign Office that "there may be clarification of the leadership of the LIA" from Libyan authorities "within the coming weeks."
