THE International Criminal Court is in indirect negotiations with a son of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi about his possible surrender for trial, the chief prosecutor said yesterday.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo said talks were being held through intermediaries, whom he did not identify, to assure Seif al-Islam Gadhafi that he would receive a fair trial and that he could be helped to find a new country of residence if he were acquitted or after completing a prison sentence.
He said he did not know where Gadhafi is.
The 39-year-old was reported to be heading through the desert to Mali, where Libya's former intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Senoussi, fled on Wednesday. An adviser to the president of Niger said Gadhafi should cross the border into Mali by today.
Gadhafi and al-Senoussi were indicted by the ICC on war crimes charges in June.
