Genoa (Italy) - A luxury vehicle belonging to Al-Saadi Gaddafi, the son slain Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, has been seized by the Italian police from a hotel in Genoa where it had been parked for almost four years.
The Italian tax police seized Al-Saadi Gaddafi's black Cadillac Escalade at the lavish Excelsior Palace Hotel, following a request made earlier this year by the International Criminal Court in the Hague to collect all of Gaddafi's assets to compensate victims of the dictator's 32-year regime.
Excelsior's manager Aldo Werdin said that the car has been parked at the hotel's lot since February 2008 when the dictator summoned his son back to Libya.
"He left his friends and two adored dogs at the hotel," ABC News quoted Werdin, as saying.
"After a few days the Libyan embassy came and picked up the friends and the dogs, but refused to pay the bill and didn't take the car," he added.
Al-Saadi was known for his high-living and fashionable, flashy tastes while he toyed with a soccer career in Italy, playing briefly for the Perugia and Udine soccer teams.
Werdin said Gadhafi was almost a permanent guest from January 2007 to February 2008 when his father demanded he return to Libya.
"He kept a suite and about three rooms in the hotel. One room was dedicated to his beloved dogs and their trainer," Werdin said.
