A BBC documentary has revealed that the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi ruled with an iron fist for 42 years and treated Libya\u2019s wealth as his own. He died the richest man on the planet with a fortune of $150 billion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two journalists pick up the trail of a mysterious $12.5 billion in cash, flown out of Libya in the dead of night just months before Gaddafi\u2019s demise. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In South Africa, they discover an eyewitness who seems to know all about the money. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His testimony changes everything, but before he can provide them with proof the story takes a sinister twist, the first of many.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One team on its trail \u2013 with eyes on a 10 per cent commission \u2013 included a \u201ccolourful arms dealer\u201d called Johan Erasmus and a Tunisian businessman named Erik Goaied whose relationship to all this remained opaque until late in the film.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goaied wore the haunted expression of a man who was in very, very deep.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they were in a race against Taha Buishi, an \u201casset recovery agent\u201d appointed by the new Libyan regime. It wasn\u2019t long before Buishi vanished, only to re-emerge months later with an account of being kidnapped<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another player was shot dead by Serbian hit men. It was that kind of story \u2013 the kind you\u2019ve seen played out in fiction but rarely in real life. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only sympathetic figure was Tito Maleka, veteran ANC head of security, who seemed to have some principles. He was the only one.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
