Gaddafi's son under investigation after Paris rampage

Police were investigating Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi’s youngest son after he allegedly injured his pregnant companion and damaged a hotel room in a rampage.

The Foreign Ministry said France expressed its “displeasure” to authorities in Libya about “repeated incidents” involving Hannibal Gaddafi, 28.

Gaddafi and his companion, Aline Skaf, 24, were involved in a violent dispute at the Grand Hotel Intercontinental in Paris before dawn on Wednesday.

Police said Gaddafi also allegedly wielded – but did not shoot – an automatic pistol on Tuesday evening at the hotel near the gilded Opera Garnier.

Security agents directed him to his hotel room, which he then damaged, officials said. His companion was admitted briefly to hospital.

Gaddafi was questioned by police and released. He subsequently left France by plane for Denmark, where he is enrolled at the Copenhagen Business School.

He also was at the centre of a separate commotion in September, when police stopped him for speeding and his bodyguards attacked several officers.

One policeman was injured and two bodyguards were briefly detained.

Gaddafi’s son does not have diplomatic immunity, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Cecile Pozzo di Borgo said.
