An Egyptian court barred the extradition of a cousin of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to his home country

Published on 03 April 2013, by M. Tomazy.

Gaddaf Alddam, who is wanted in Libya for alleged counterfeiting, forgery, fraud and money laundering, is under investigation on suspicion of attacking Egyptian police during his arrest last month.

Two other former Gaddafi officials were sent back to Libya after being arrested in Cairo last month, but Gaddaf Alddam was not handed over partly because he claims Egyptian citizenship, according to his lawyers.

Gaddafi was overthrown and killed in October 2011 after a popular uprising backed by NATO air strikes.
