A Japanese newspaper has reported that Libya sent money to North Korea in the early 2000s apparently in return for the provision of nuclear material.

Citing an obtained document, the Mainichi Shimbun said that there are records of money transactions between Libya and North Korea.
According to the Japanese daily, Tripoli sent a total of some four million euros, or five-point-three billion won, in July and September of 2002, to a North Korean company with bank accounts in Dubai and Macau.
The Mainichi said that the remittance appears to be Libya’s payment to North Korea for the sale of nuclear substances.
The North sold uranium hexafluoride, which can be enriched to weapons-grade uranium, in a black market that year. At the time, Libya was reportedly pushing forward with a secret nuclear development project under the then leader Muammar Gadhafi.
