The Dutch
prosecutor’s office has seized the belongings of a Libyan businessman who is
suspected of having removed 28.5 million euro from Libyan state funds. An investigation is underway. Former Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Ben
Bot has intervened on behalf of the Libyan who had close ties to the late
dictator Muammar Gaddafi. It has become
known that Bot received payment for his involvement. Bot says that he had
checked and that the Libyan could not be blamed for any wrongdoing. Bot
received the assignment to lobby on behalf of the Libyan from the wife of the
former British Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg. She works for a London law firm which advises
the Libyan businessman.
