Mkuu iko hivi. Fedha na asserts zilizokuwa frozen ziko za aina mbili. Moja ni zile assets ambazo zinamilikuwa na Libya kupitia the Libyan Investment Fund kama vile gazeti la Financial Times la Uingereza (about 3.27 percent stake in its shares) or the Libyan Arab Foreign Bank. Nyingine ni zile zinazomilikiwa na watu binafisi ambao ni akina Gaddafi, watoto, na watu wengine. Kama ile nyumba yenye dhamani ya £11 million huko London iliyochukuliwa na squatters ni personal property. Sasa watu wanachangaya hapa. Fedha na assets zinazomilikiwa na Libya ina bidi zirudishwe Libya.
Lakini zile zinazomilikiwa na watu binafisi na akina Gaddafi and his Cos sidhani kama zitaturudishwa. I am sure like other despots such as Saddam Hussein, Mobutu Sese Seko, Mubarak, etc Gaddafi is likely to have also squirreled away large sums of money and assets in secret numbered accounts, or lockbox/deposit box stashes of currency, precious metals and marketable art, collectibles and other indirect holdings. The Gaddafis spent years doing what super rich people all over the world do – they hide it.
Kama ilivyotokea kwa madikteta wengine wenye account za wizi overseas, bankers managing assets for Gaddafi and his family might now act as if the assets belong to them, particularly with those converted into personal holdings. Past experience inaonyesha hivyo. This is possible kwa vile hizo personal accounts huwa zinafunguliwa na kuendeshwa kisirisiri na account holders wakifa, mabenki yanauchuna na kutia pesa ndani.
Nafikiri tatizo hapa ni kujua assets za Libya na zile za Gaddafi personally. Gaddafi na familia yake regarded the Libyan state's wealth and assets as their own. Seeing Libyan state wealth as their own, they kept most money or assets they held overseas such as the Libyan Investment Fund, which would be easier for Gaddafi's successors to recover than assets converted to personal use and then concealed. When they were running the show, the Gaddafis didn't feel they had to distinguish between what was government wealth and what was private.
Mkuu tupo line moja but what I am saying is that uncovering the financial trail will prove difficult and the cash has been invested under false names, holding companies and secret accounts. Kutokana na mchezo waliokuwa wakicheza the Gaddafi family itakuwa ngumu kuchanganyua assets zipi ni mali ya Libya na zipi ni mali binafsi. Kwa mfano angali hii nyumba iliyoko London yenye dhamani ya £10 million inayodaiwa kumilikiwa personally na mtoto wa Gaddafi. Kama huyu mtoto akiuliwa, under what ground Libya itasema hii nyumba ni asset yao?
