on 28 July 2015, Mr. Gaddafi was convicted by the Tripoli Criminal Court for substantially the same conduct as alleged in the proceedings before the ICC. Mr. Gaddafi further alleged that, on or around 12 April 2016, he was released from prison pursuant to Law No. 6 of 2015 which provided for a general amnesty. Thus, Mr. Gaddafi submitted that the case against him on charges of crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the Court was inadmissible.
The majority's determination was made after careful review of the different submissions and observations of the Defence, the Prosecutor, the Legal Representatives of Victims, the amici curiae, and previous filings from the Government of Libya.
The majority found that in order for a second trial not to be permitted before this Court, for the same conduct, the decision of the Tripoli Criminal Court would have had to be final and acquire the effect of res judicata. The majority was not satisfied that this requirement was met in the case at hand as the judgment of the Tripoli Criminal Court was still subject to appeal and was rendered in the absence of Mr. Gaddafi (in absentia), which left open the possibility of reinstituting judicial proceedings…

Can Saif al-Islam Qaddafi become President of Libya?
The son of deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi has the right to run for president next year despite facing charges of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, a top Russian official said.
Saif al-Islam, a one-time heir apparent to his father who has leadership ambitions, could become a unifying figure in the oil-rich but chaotic North African state, said Mikhail Bogdanov, the Middle East envoy of President Vladimir Putin. “I think it will depend on their political will” in Libya, he said in an interview in Moscow this week. “The country has practically fallen apart, Libyans find it very hard to talk to each other.”
Qaddafi’s son is wanted by The Hague-based tribunal for crimes against humanity relating to a violent crackdown on demonstrations against his father’s rule in 2011. The Libyan autocrat was overthrown and killed later that year, ending more than four decades in power. The court’s chief prosecutor in October rejected a bid by Saif al-Islam to have the charges dropped, with his defense arguing he’d been convicted of the same offenses in Libya.

COLLUSION (see pic)
***********
Both Russia and USA vetoed UN resolution to stop Haftar and the LNA from taking Tripoli recently. Just the other day POTUS spoke to Haftar on the Phone.
Wow. reminds me of Q drop 1603
"…Attempts to frame Russia / POTUS (optics) are failing and will soon be exposed.
[Objective] to keep POTUS away from PUTIN failed.
Bolton + PUTIN should scare you.
Enemies are allies… "
