The man from Libya

The United Nations’ Panel of Experts on Libya is recommending that the UN Security Council impose sanctions on Ahmed Gadalla, a globe-trotting Libyan financier who is a permanent resident of Canada.

Mr. Gadalla, 46, and two of his foreign-based companies are on a list of individuals and entities accused of violating the UN arms embargo against Libya, according to the panel’s 2026 final report to the UN Security Council.

Imposed in 2011, the UN arms embargo prohibits the transfer of military equipment, such as weapons and armoured vehicles, to Libya, save for certain exceptions.

CTV News’ investigative unit W5 has found at least 17 innocent passengers on flights originating in Canada were detained on drug smuggling allegations over the past year after their baggage tags were switched onto suitcases filled with drugs.

All were eventually released, but only after some had been handcuffed, arrested and jailed overseas.

W5 compiled the data through court records, news releases and police sources. The cases involved flights from Canada to the Dominican Republic, Paris, Germany, Morocco, Bermuda, the Philippines and Korea, where drug smuggling can carry the death penalty.

Sierra Leone’s first lady has social housing in inner London

Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Fatima Jabbe-Bio, has retained tenancy of a subsidised council flat in Southwark, south London, despite living in a presidential mansion in Freetown, the Sierra Leonean capital, and being linked to a substantial property portfolio in West Africa.

The two-bedroom property, in one of London’s most deprived boroughs, has had the same tenant since December 2007, according to Southwark Council records. The average monthly council rent for a two-bedroom flat in the borough is about £560 (€660), roughly a third of local market rates.
