Niger has extradited Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saadi to Tripoli. He is now being detained in Hadaba Prison in the capital.
"The Libyan Government received today (6/3/2014) Al Saadi Gaddafi. He
arrived in Libya and is located at the Libyan judiciary police
station," the Libyan government said on its official Facebook yesterday.
"The Libyan Government thanks the President of the Republic of Niger,
Mahamadou Issoufou.
We also thank the Niger Government and the people of
Niger for their cooperation with the Libyan Government in pledging its
commitment to the treatment of the accused on the principles of justice
and international norms in dealing with prisoners. God save Libya.
Saadi was allowed to enter Niger on humanitarian grounds after the
Gaddafi government was toppled. Niger had previously refused to hand
over Saadi, who fled to the West African state in September 2011, for
fear of execution in Libya.
In 2011, Interpol issued a "red notice" to all countries to extradite
Saadi if they found him in their territory. In December 2011, Mexican
authorities foiled a plan to smuggle Saadi from Niger to Mexico.
Before the Libyan revolution, Saadi was the captain of Libya’s
national football team and had played for Italian Serie A sides Perugia
and Udinese.
