Saif al-Islam's top British contacts

Peter Mandelson

The Labour peer reportedly met the Libyan leader's son in summer 2009 at the Rothschild family home on Corfu. In November that year Lord Mandelson spent time in Saif's company during a shooting weekend at Waddesdon Manor, the Rothschild's home in Buckinghamshire.

Tony Blair

Described by Saif al-Islam as "a personal family friend", Saif claimed to have met the then prime minister for the first time in 2006 at Downing Street and also saw him several times in Libya. Blair flatly denied having any relationship with the Libyan Investment Authority, part of Saif's effort to generate new sources of income for a country almost completely dependent on hydrocarbons for cash.

Anthony Giddens

Eminent sociologist and former director of the London School of Economics and noted theorist of the Third Way. Giddens met Saif in 2006, paid two visits to Libya and debated democracy with Gaddafi senior in 2007. The Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, chaired by Saif, later donated £1.5m to the LSE's Global Governance research centre, of which it received $300,000.

Nathaniel Rothschild

Scion of the banking family who gave a party for Saif when he completed his doctorate on civil society and global governance at the LSE. In 2009, Saif threw his 37th birthday party at the luxury hotel in Montenegro where Rothschild was rumored to be one of the guests.
