Libya plans to seek the extradition of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi who is serving a life term in Scotland and suffering from terminal cancer, a Libyan source said on Monday.
"Libya and Britain are due to exchange ratified extradition documents at the end of April, and after that Libya will officially submit a request for Abdelbaset Megrahi's extradition," the source close to the case told AFP.
This would allow Megrahi "to continue his sentence in a Libyan prison, particularly since he is suffering from an advanced stage of cancer and has only a few weeks left to live," the source added on condition of anonymity.
In May 2007, Britain and Libya signed a protocol agreement on the transfer of prisoners which the Libyan source says has been ratified by the two countries. The documents are due to be exchanged later this month. (...)
[H]is wife Aisha told AFP in February that he "is in danger of dying" because of his worsening cancer and complained that he had been refused bail.
On Monday Aisha pleaded anew for her husband's release.
"I call on the entire entire world to take pity on my children and the Abdelbaset family," she told AFP by telephone.
"Our only wish is to spend a few days with him before he dies. We have suffered every day these past 10 years. How much longer are we to pay the price of injustice."

Justice for Mr Abdelbaset Al Megrahi and Libya!

MEBO commentary:
Even the confusing interrogation of Examination in Chief, Mr. Campell, could not prevent that witness Dennis Satariano clearly confirmed that the company PVC-Plastics Limited had not supplied blue Babygrows with label no. 439 to the wholesale company 'BIG BEN' !

His brother Paul Gauci say as Witness no. 598, sworn, among other things, at Kamp van Zeist. Excerpts:
+++
Did you also, as wholesalers, distribute Abanderado T-shirts? (in company BIG BEN) A--We did. Q--Did you distribute these for Underwear Limited? A--Yes, we did. Q--Look, please, at Label Number 457. Is that an Abanderado T-shirt? A--Yes, it is. Q--And is that the type of T-shirt that
you distributed? A--Yes, it is.
Q--You told us earlier that you supplied goods to the Gaucis' shop in Sliema? A--Yes, I did. Q--Would you look now, please, at an invoice which is Production 489. If you go to the next image, please. Do we see on the screen an invoice from Big Ben, again to Gauci, Edward, Mary's House, 63 Tower Road, Sliema? A--Yes, I do. Q--And is this one dated 22 April '87? A--Yes, I do.
Q--Do we see that it's for a number of different types of clothing? A-- I did not understand the question. Q--Does the invoice include several
different types of items of clothing? A--Yes, it does. Q--If we look at number 5, do we see that that is an item which is described as "Gents

MEBO commentarry:
1.> From Invoice Prod. 488 can not be conculded that the specific blue babygrow was delivered to the boutique Mary's House!
2.> From Invoice Prod. 489 can not be concluded that T-shirts label "Abanderado" were delivered to the Boutique Mary's House!
These invoices/delivery notes from the company 'BIG BEN' were all fake!
In this light the following questions have to be answered:
Were the Gauci brothers bribed for giving wrong evidence and manipulating evidence?
Did Paul Gauci as Managing Director of the Company 'BIG BEN' and participator of boutique "Mary's House" in Malta belately produce the desired invoices on behalf of Detective Superintendent of Scottish Police, Henry Woods Bell ?
Was the babygrow and the "Abanderado T-shirt" actually bought in London and belately by an unknown UK offizier in July 1988 subversively linked to "Mary's House" ?

Dear Professor Dr. Black
ReplyDeleteMalta is since 2009 in the European Union. Question:
Is it possible to in-complain in a legal form the two brothers Paul and Tony Gauci, participator of fashion shop Mary's House, for giving in response, with a high bribe, wrong and manipulating evidence by the Scottish Trial at Kamp van Zeist, to the damage of Mr. Abdelbaset al Megrahi and Libya?
