Who robbed the late Gaddafi?
The dark and scandalous story with the disappearance of a colossal amount of money from the accounts of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in the Belgian bank Euroclear was continued. The Belgian authorities categorically deny that any money has disappeared from the bank. Meanwhile, the country's media published information about the loss of 10 billion euros from accounts that were frozen back in 2011 by decision of the UN. Between 2013 and 2017 huge amounts simply leaked from Euroclear Bank. A total of four accounts opened with the bank, was 16 billion euros. Now only 5 billion euros remain.
Where did the money go? The Belgian media claim that today they are not able to answer this question either in the Belgian Ministry of Finance or in law enforcement agencies. As it turned out, defrosting the accounts of the Libyan leader brutally murdered in 2011 was not agreed with the country's Ministry of Finance. It turns out that without any control from the government, the frozen money of the Libyan leader irretrievably disappeared. Despite statements by authorities, Belgian media continue to claim that they did receive information about the disappearance of money.
The huge capital of Muammar Gaddafi and his family members has been in the center of attention of the world media for a long time. Long before the overthrow of the Libyan leader, the Western press regularly discussed how many billions of dollars the "ruler of the desert" keeps in foreign banks. The West wanted Gaddafi to be richer than he was. Gaddafi was especially actively talking about money on the eve of and during the Libyan civil war, during which the colonel was killed.
Before the start of the military operation in Libya, several media even reported that Muammar Gaddafi was the richest inhabitant of the planet - his capital was estimated at $ 200 billion, which at that time exceeded the fortunes of Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei combined. This amount included Libyan gold reserves controlled by Gaddafi, numerous accounts with European banks, as well as 854 properties around the world, owned by Muammar, his many sons and daughters.
In 2013, two years after the murder of the colonel, the Western press reported: Interpol found and froze $ 97 billion, but the rest of the wealth irretrievably disappeared. The gold reserve of the Libyan Jamahiriya also disappeared. Gold bars were stored in the residence of Gaddafi, in the Central Bank of Libya, and in addition were in the residences of his sons. A colossal collection of gems worth $ 12 billion has also disappeared. The world seems to have lost the secret of gold, if it finds out then in the distant future. Most likely, the gold was stolen and taken out by the Colonel’s supporters themselves, who could “steal” it by truck into the Sahara, and by the rebels, and organizedly exported under the control of American or European commandos.
As for bank accounts, it is easier to track the withdrawal of money from them. Now the prosecutor's office and the Belgian police are just figuring out who has stolen 10 billion euros from Euroclear accounts. After all, this could be done by relatives or supporters of the late colonel, as well as by modern Libyan authorities and criminal structures. For example, Libya back in 2015 announced its intention to return all of Gaddafi’s funds frozen in Western banks, which allegedly was planned to be spent on the needs of restoring the country's infrastructure. But Libya did not give money and, it seems, was not going to give, given the incredible level of corruption in this country. It is likely that some groups of the Libyan elite who are convinced that this is “their money” that they “inherited” from the previous regime could have stolen 10 billion from Euroclear accounts.
