The Lebanese judiciary has found Hannibal Gaddafi, son of deceased
dictator, Moamar Gaddafi, not guilty for the charges of insulting and
demeaning the Lebanese judicial system. The verdict was announced by the Lebanese judge, Ghassan Al-Khori,
who said that all charges related to this case are dropped and Hannibal
can now have the right to defend himself in the Lebanese courts.
Hannibal will remain in custody in Beirut for other charges as he is
accused by the Libyan authorities of keeping clandestine information
about the case of the disappearance of the Lebanese Imam Mousa Al-Sadr
in Libya. On 25 August 1978, Sadr and two companions, Sheikh Muhammad Yaacoub
and journalist Abbas Badreddine, departed for Libya to meet with
government officials at the invitation of Muammar Gaddafi. The three
were last seen on 31 August. They were never heard from again. Hannibal was in Syria before he got dragged by certain means into the
borders with Lebanon by some kidnapping gangs, who then released him
and Lebanese authorities arrested him afterwards.
