Der Spiegel reports that German banks have frozen more than 10 billion euros in Gaddafi money since EU sanctions came into force. The funds are in 193 accounts in 14 banks, including 1.96 billion euros in a single bank account at the central Bundesbank.
Gaddafi assets are being traced in Malta by a specially set up asset-tracking unit at the Office of the Prime Minister. It has been reported that the initial list will be completed by next week. There is no word yet on whether it will be made public.

As much as we would like it to be, it probably won’t be made public in Malta.
Days ago Mrs Dephine told us that Gaddafi’s assets ,in Malta were frozen. How come they are still looking for them?and to add insult to injury, the list will be ready by next week. I think that by than, Gaddafi’s flag will be flying , all over Libya again. it could save us a lot of explaining.
[Daphne – Silvio, the assets are frozen as they are found. They are not frozen when the list is complete. And the sanctions stay in force whatever the situation next week.]
I really can’t understand how you can freeze anything, before you have actually found them. According to the statment, not even the ” Initial ” list has been completed. I think that once again the Govt is pussyfooting. Don’t you think so ? Maybe you were still young , the last time sanctions were imposed on Libya. You would have remembered the ‘Roaring” trade Malta had with Libya. Not official of course.
Ovvja, ghax inkella kull min jahbi jibda jibza.
Sadattant, is-sitwazzjoni fil-Libja hi inkwetanti hafna. Il-forzi ta Gaddafi dehlin fuq Benghazi u se jibdluha f’kamp ta koncentrament.
Qed tara hux kemm il-kundanni generici ma jghinu xejn! Dan bhal meta lil Hitler kien joqghodu jikkundannawh ufficjalment. X’kien jigri imma? Kien jiehu ghalih u jifferocja aktar fil-qilla …. ahjar mill-prudenza m’hawnx. Konvint li Gonzi hu dan it-tip ta politku. Imn ‘Alla ghandna lilu bhalissa.
Prudenza = appeasement. Taf xi tfisser? Taf ir-rizultati fl-istorja tad-dinja ghal “appeasement”. Jew forse trid nibqghu nghixu ta’ cowards u bla principji?
What will happen with all these billions once Gaddafi is gone?
Much bigger countries than us have already frozen the billions of Gaddafi euros in their banks belonging to a family whose paterfamilias owes onlt a desert tent. In Malta we are still counting. Are we using an abacus?
No I am sure we are pussyfooting again
@drinu It takes quite some time for money to be unblocked as countries have to decide who to transfer to, is the government legitimate, democratic etc. For example here in Switzerland there is still money deposited by Ferdinand Marcos and by ‘Bébé Doc’ Duvalier.

This is a partial list of Libyans whose assets are blocked in Switzerland. Most of the money had been transferred out by Ghadaffi during the Swiss/Libyan crisis 18 months ago.
Anyone read Lino Spiteri’s Talking Point in The Times today? How very true.
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110314/opinion/regime-brushes-words-off-like-dandruff
Lino Spiteri is repeating in his own words what Daphne has been saying for weeks.
What’s new?
Lino Spiteri’s writings would have been appreciated much more during them golden years. Ora ormai.
Hear hear. Lino Spiteri rewriting of his own morality is sickening. And do we really need a piece every day, or thereabouts? I mean there’s only so much wisdom you can dish out.
I sincerely hope that the list will be published.Certain people can’t get away with “murder”, anymore.
Not in MALTA
Dear, Another John, I have been around in this world for quite a number of years, I have never met with any Govt. which put PRINCIPJI before the well being of it’s country, nor do I recall having seen any bank account called PRINCIPJI nor have I ever met a family man feeding his children on PRINCIPJI. Wake, up this is a tough world ,meant for tough people. People like you should live in Disney World
Mr Loporto, By your own words you are saying publicly that you are not a man of principle. Who wpold dare trust a’ man’ like that?
What i’m saying is that I have never come across one, maybe exlcuding yourself. Of course you will meet many who say they are Men Of Principly but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Has the Asset Tracking Unit been to Grognet Street, Mosta?
