TRIPOLI: Tripoli’s court of appeals has acquitted Saadi Gaddafi , a son of former Libyan dictator Moamer Gaddafi , of murdering a football coach in 2005, a judicial source said Wednesday. The court’s criminal chamber acquitted Saadi Gaddafi on Tuesday of charges of “voluntary homicide”, the source said on condition of anonymity. The former ruler’s son was accused of murdering Bashir al-Rayani, a former footballer and coach of Tripoli’s Al-Ittihad football club, where Gaddafi played, in 2005. The judicial source added that the ministry of justice asked the supreme court Wednesday to submit an update on the other cases involving Gaddafi. Extradited from Niger on March 6, 2014, Gaddafi is also being tried, among others, for alleged involvement in the deadly crackdown on the revolt that toppled his father’s regime in 2011. The case has repeatedly been postponed.
