Gaddafi's body has been put on display in a freezer at a shopping centre while authorities argue about where to bury him. Now that the mad dog is dead, what will happen to his frozen investments thought to be worth around $168 billion?
In August the United Nations Security Council approved an immediate infusion of $1.5 billion that the U.S. had seized to provide basic services, especially electricity. But there’s a problem – some countries don’t want to give it back and it will be hard to trace, hidden away in secret accounts. And if they do find it, who are they going to give it to? It’s possible that survivors from the Gaddafi ruling elite, including members of the family, will be able to get hold of the money to fund revolutionary activity in Libya.
With the Lockerbie bombing still fresh in our memory, he didn't suffer enough for some and his murder without trial was too quick. Now the Libyan sovereign wealth fund will be needed to rebuild the infrastructure NATO blew up.
