Breaking News: Italian police seize $2.34m from man linked to dead son of Libya’s Gaddafi
New Post has been published on https://www.thisdaynews.net/2018/07/27/breaking-news-italian-police-seize-2-34m-from-man-linked-to-dead-son-of-libyas-gaddafi/
Breaking News: Italian police seize $2.34m from man linked to dead son of Libya’s Gaddafi
Italian police on Thursday seized as two million euros (2.34 million dollars) from a Libyan man who acted as a frontman for one of the sons of former Libyan dictator Moamer Gaddafi,
In 2010, Mutassim Gaddafi, the fourth son of the dictator, bought two luxury flats, a garage and a cellar in Rome for 5.5 million euros, using a frontman to elude international sanctions and asset freezes on the Gaddafi clan, police said.
Mutassim died in 2011, and the frontman – whom the Guardia di Finanza identified only via his initials BAAA – sold the properties five years later for a cut price of 2.5 million euros.
This was because he felt that authorities were closing in on him.
Italian police said the man managed to smuggle about 500,000 euros out of Italy, while the remaining two million euros was seized and frozen, while BAAA was accused of false registration of assets and money laundering.
Gaddafi ruled Libya from 1969 to 2011, when he was toppled and killed in an armed revolt backed by NATO airstrikes.
Since then, the country has been stricken by militia infighting and has become a major transit route for migrants trying to reach Europe by sea.

October 20, 2011 AL-GADDAFI Al-Mutassim-Billah Muammar al-Gaddafi was the fourth son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, a Libyan Army officer and the National Security Advisor of Libya from 2008 until 2011. He was captured during the Battle of Sirte by anti-Gaddafi forces and executed on 20 October 2011. NTC commanders at the front in Sirte and officials in Tripoli claimed that he was captured as he was trying to leave the city in a family car and sent off to Benghazi. Published film and photographs indicate that he was unconscious and injured - the front of his shirt was heavily stained with blood - but alive when he was captured by a group of young men appearing to be in their late teens or early twenties after apparently succumbing to nerve gas. He was made to drink water and requested a cigarette. Later photographs released by Saudi TV channel Al Arabiya show al-Gaddafi lying dead on a hospital bed with gaping wounds in his throat and abdomen and one of his arms had been dislocated. Amateur photographs and videos showed his young captors and others defiling his corpse. Like his father he was denied the dignity of an Islamic burial within a day after death in contravention of the law.

Colonel Gaddafi’s son has been freed from captivity in Libya and now wants to ‘bring peace’ to the war-torn country, his lawyer said yesterday.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, 44, had been held by rebel militias in eastern Libya since November 2011 when he was caught trying to flee into neighbouring Niger after the death of his father and brother Mutassim.
The Western-educated playboy was a key player in attempts to broker deals between the despotic regime and the West before the 2011 uprising in which his father was killed, and is still wanted by the International Criminal Court to answer charges of crimes against humanity.
The militia forces, based in the town of Zintan, refused to hand him over for a war crimes trial in the capital Tripoli two years ago, over his role in his father’s brutal attempts to put down the rebellion, although he did appear by video link before he was handed the death sentence.
His lawyer Khaled al-Zaidi refused to reveal Saif’s whereabouts after his release on Friday, but said he was still in Libya and hoped to work towards reconciliation in the region, which has been ravaged by civil war and the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group.
The Western-educated playboy was a key player in attempts to broker deals between the despotic regime and the West before the 2011 uprising in which his father was killed.
Mr al-Zaidi told CNN: ‘His priority is to eradicate terrorism, to bring security then bring back life and economic prosperity. Any international organisations that want to combat terrorism will find Saif Gaddafi. He will have a major role in bringing peace to Libya.’
He also said that Saif would not hand himself over to the ICC in The Hague.
Prosecutors at the ICC say that Saif was part of his father’s plans to ‘quell, by all means, the civilian demonstrations against the Gaddafi regime’. An ICC judge has already ruled that Saif was his father’s ‘unspoken successor and the most influential person within his inner circle’ and ‘had the powers of a de facto prime minister’.
The North African country has fallen into chaos since Colonel Gaddafi’s regime was overthrown in 2011, as competing regional governments and rebel groups continue to battle for control 
The North African country has fallen into chaos since Colonel Gaddafi’s regime was overthrown in 2011, as competing regional governments and rebel groups continue to battle for control.
The power vacuum allowed thousands of fighters from the so-called Islamic State to operate from camps in the country. Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi returned from Libya just days before he killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert last month.
Saif has not been seen by independent observers since June 2014 and a previous report that he had been freed turned out to be false.
Gaddafi loyalists in the east of the country had lobbied for Saif’s release as part of a push from former regime figures to reassert influence in Libya. Mr al-Zaidi said he was released under an amnesty passed by a regional government in eastern Libya and that Saif expected to soon make a public statement to the Libyan people.

As the one-time heir apparent to the Gaddafi regime, Saif was a key figure in negotiations with Britain over the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.
He became close to figures in the British Establishment after Tony Blair signed the notorious ‘Deal in the Desert’ in 2004 to re-establish diplomatic links. Saif described Mr Blair as a ‘personal family friend’ and said he had visited Libya ‘many, many times’ after he left Downing Street. He also claimed Mr Blair had become an adviser to the Gaddafi family, which the former prime minister denied.
Prince Andrew was also accused of holding ‘detailed discussions’ with Saif over al-Megrahi’s release during a Foreign Office-sponsored trip to Algeria. Buckingham Palace denied any meetings or discussions had taken place.
