The pair, who were arrested in July 2008, are also accused of violating trade regulations, Khaled Kaim, Libya's deputy minister for foreign affairs, said on Thursday. (Al Jazeera) Mr. Kaim also says, that they MUST stand trial. The businessmen have been handed over to a Swiss embassy and must find a private address before they can be served notice and put on trial. The pair were arrested two days after Hannibal Gadhafi, the son of Moammar Gadhafi, the Libyan leader, and his wife were detained for two days for allegedly physically abusing their servants in a Geneva hotel. (Al Jazeera) These charges were later dropped but it angered Tripoli. This led to retaliatory measures from Libya, including cancelling oil supplies, withdrawing billions of dollars from Swiss banks, refusing visas to Swiss citizens and recalling some of its diplomats.
