British Prince Andrew has recently been revealed by the media to have had three meetings with Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi and a deep friendship with an internationally known arms trafficker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Queen’s son’s ties to the Gaddafi regime have come under deeper scrutiny following the recent sex scandal and the mystery surrounding his income.<\/p>\n

The British daily The Sun quotes local finance expert David McClure as saying that Andrew’s private fortune remains shrouded in mystery after many questions were raised about his extravagant lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Andrew’s ties to Libya date back 20 years, since he visited an arms trade fair in Jordan with his spokesman Robert Olney.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Andrew was introduced to renowned Libyan arms trafficker Tarek Kaituni, once married to Dutch supermodel Lisa van Goinga.<\/p>\n

Kaituni, who also has American citizenship would later boast of his influence over the Prince and arranged his meetings with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.<\/p>\n

Kaitun spent several years in a Paris prison for arms trafficking before being released from a suspended sentence and a 10,000 Euro fine.<\/p>\n

But none of this seems to have bothered Prince Andrew, writes The SUN, who enjoyed a few days off with Kaituni in Tunisia in November 2008, shortly before visiting Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli.<\/p>\n

Before Andrew lost his role in the commercial chain, Kaitun was invited to the British Princess’s birthday Beatrice<\/a> in August 2009, where he presented her with a diamond pendant worth more than $ 25,000.<\/p>\n

Prince Andrew’s ties to Libya go further as in July 2007 he attended a party hosted by a Libyan businessman in the Saint Tropez resort, where he was photographed dancing with American aristocrat Chris Von Aspen.<\/p>\n

A year later in July 2008, he is seen dancing with Libyan model Nadia Boejna at another party in Saint Tropez, this time hosted by French tycoon Claude Ott.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2008, Andrew reached his meeting with the Libyan dictator, invited by his Tunisian son-in-law Sakher El Materi.<\/p>\n

The matter was close to Tunisian President Zine Ben Ali, who was overthrown in a 2011 coup.<\/p>\n

Materi left Tunisia for the Seychelles after the revolution and was later convicted of corruption in absentia.<\/p>\n

In June 2011 he and his wife Leila were sentenced to 35 years in prison for misappropriation and misuse of state funds.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Britain’s Buckingham Palace said at the time: “[Andrew] “He has officially met with Gaddafi only once, but there have been many other private cases as the prince’s job is to have serious relationships with key individuals.”<\/p>\n

“This is always improving British interests on behalf of the Foreign Office and the Commonwealth, on behalf of British companies.”<\/p>\n

Gaddafi’s son has been received at the royal palace, although after the overthrow of the leader in 2011 he has faced charges of crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n
