Cynthia Vanier: Libyan Dictator Moammar Gadhafi

Saadi Gadhafi Dept: Mexican officials confirmed Wednesday Cynthia Vanier, 52, and four others were charged with attempted immigrant trafficking, falsifying documents and participation in organized crime, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The suspects were formally charged last week. They have not entered pleas and cHARGES have been formally laid against a Canadian woman who has been in a Mexican prison for more than 80 days over allegations she led a plot to smuggle a son of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi into Mexico. The plan to sneak out Saadi Gadhafi involved stolen passports, white-knuckle flights with pilots who refused to land in war-torn Libya and luxury homes bought under false names, assistant attorney general Jose Cuitlahuac Salinas said. Authorities allege Vanier was the ringleader and had a false Mexican passport and birth certificate in her name when she was arrested. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
