CAIRO (AFP) – An Egyptian court on Wednesday ruled against extraditing Moamer Kadhafi’s cousin Ahmed Qaddaf al-Dam to Libya, where he is wanted on corruption charges, a judicial official said.<\/p>\n
The administrative court said Qaddaf al-Dam, who was taken into custody last month, was under investigation for alleged crimes inside Egypt and should be tried there.<\/p>\n
Qaddaf al-Dam, who had a senior role under Kadhafi before the dictator’s overthrow and killing in 2011, was arrested in Cairo last month along with Libya’s former ambassador Ali Maria and another Kadhafi-era official.<\/p>\n
Qaddaf al-Dam remains in custody, but the two others have been handed over to Egypt’s western neighbour.<\/p>\n
The Libyan prosecutor’s spokesman, Taha Baara, had told AFP that Tripoli had issued an international arrest warrant for Qaddaf al-Dam for “forging documents” and that the other two were wanted for “financial crimes”.<\/p>\n
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan told a news conference in Tripoli last month that Qaddaf al-Dam was among “several elements of the old regime” arrested in Cairo and wanted for “hostile acts” against the uprising that toppled Kadhafi.<\/p>\n
