\"SaadiSaadi Gaddafi crossed the border into Niger in a convoy of vehicles in September<\/span><\/div>\n

The Mexican authorities say they have stopped a plot by a criminal organisation to smuggle one of the sons of Libya’s ex-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi into the country.<\/p>\n

Saadi Gaddafi has been under house arrest in the West African state of Niger since he fled Libya in September.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the Mexican government said Saadi Gaddafi and some members of his family were stopped as a result of intelligence reports.<\/p>\n

Several people have been arrested.<\/p>\n

Mexican officials said the plot – uncovered on 6 September – involved false names and documents.<\/p>\n

Safe houses<\/span><\/p>\n

Mexican Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire said the plan involved a criminal ring “of international dimensions,” but it was uncovered in September before it could be carried out.<\/p>\n

The ring involved people from several different countries, including Mexico, Denmark and Canada, Mr Poire told a news conference in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

They were buying safe houses and opening bank accounts, he said.<\/p>\n

On 14 September – eight days after the Mexican plot was uncovered – Niger said Saadi Gaddafi, 38, arrived in the capital, Niamey.<\/p>\n

He was reported to have been flown in on a military transport plane from the town of Agadez in the north of the country.<\/p>\n

On 29 September, Interpol issued a “red notice” for the arrest of Saadi Gaddafi, requiring member states to arrest him if he was on their territory.<\/p>\n

The international police agency says he is wanted on allegations of misappropriating properties through force and armed intimidation when he headed the Libyan Football Federation.<\/p>\n

Saadi Gaddafi, who used to play football in Italy’s Serie A, is also subject to a travel ban and asset freeze under a UN Security Council resolution passed earlier this year.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
