Qaddafi Placed 3 Billion Pounds in London Last Week, Times Says

Qaddafi Placed 3 Billion Pounds in London Last Week, Times Says  "Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi deposited 3 billion pounds ($4.8 billion) with a private wealth manager in Mayfair, London last week with the help of a Switzerland-based intermediary, the Times reported, without saying where it got the information.

The intermediary initially attempted to deposit the Libyan funds with an unidentified stock broking firm in the City of London five weeks ago, however it was turned down, the newspaper said, citing the chief executive officer of the company, which it didn’t name.

The CEO, who wasn’t named, was quoted as saying he’d said “no” because he wasn’t comfortable dealing with people with blood on their hands. He was cited as saying Qaddafi is believed to have “about 10 billion in the City.”"
