Al-Saadi Muammar Gaddafi, also spelt as Al-Saadi Moammer Al-Gaddafi (Arabic: الساعدي معمر القذافي; born 25 May 1973), is a Libyan retired professional football player. He captained the national team, but his career was widely attributed to the influence of his father Muammar Gaddafi, the country's leader at the time.
In 2011, Gaddafi was the commander of Libya's Special Forces and participated in the Libyan Civil War.[2] An Interpol notice was issued against him in 2011.[3] In March 2014, he was arrested in Niger and extradited to Libya, where he faced murder charges,[4] which he was cleared of in 2018.[5] In August 2015, a video surfaced allegedly showing him being tortured.[6]
He was a central figure in the SNC-Lavalin scandal in Canada. In 2019, SNC-Lavalin, Canada's biggest engineering firm, pled guilty to paying Saadi $28 million in bribes to secure construction contracts in Libya.[7][8] SNC-Lavalin also allegedly paid over $2 million for Saadi's 2008 visit to Canada, including bodyguards, companion services, $10,000 to an escort service in Vancouver, a strip club in Montreal, and box seats for a Spice Girls concert at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.[9]
He was released in September 2021 and left for Turkey.[10]
