Hannibal Gaddafi, the son of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has been released on bail set at $893,000 after being detained in Lebanon since December 2015.
According to the Lebanese official news agency NNA, Hannibal Gaddafi, who has been detained in Lebanon for nearly a decade, was released after his lawyers paid the bail amount of $893,000. Lebanese judge Zaher Hammade approved Gaddafi's release on November 6, after reportedly reducing the bail amount from an initial figure of $11 million to approximately $900,000.
Detained Over Disappearance of Shia Cleric
Hannibal Gaddafi was taken to Lebanon and detained in December 2015 after being abducted by unidentified individuals in Syria. Since then, he has been held in a prison in Beirut as part of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Shia cleric Musa al-Sadr and two accompanying individuals in 1978.
The Shia community and the Amal Movement in Lebanon hold the Gaddafi regime responsible for the disappearance of the Shia scholar Musa al-Sadr in Libya. However, the former Libyan administration consistently denied these accusations, asserting that Sadr and his companions left Tripoli for Italy.
Hannibal Gaddafi, born in 1975, is married to the former Lebanese model Aline el-Sekkaf, and the couple has two children.
