MEXICO CITY- Mexican intelligence agents have stopped a plot for Saadi Gaddafi, the third son of Muammar Gaddafi, to sneak into Mexico under false identification. Several people from different countries were involved in the plot, including Mexico, Denmark and Canada. According to Mexican Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire the plan involved a criminal ring "of international dimensions." Cynthia Vanier, a Canadian woman stayed in constant communication with the Gaddafi family and was in charge of the finances of the operation. Vanier was the mastermind behind the plot. Three other suspects include a Danish man, a Mexican man and a Mexican woman who resides in the United States. The scheme involved falsification of official documents, the opening of bank accounts with false documents and the purchase of real estate in Mexico, including one near the resort of Puerto Vallarta that was intended to serve as a residence for the Gaddafi family. On 29 September, Interpol issued a "red notice" for the arrest of Saadi Gaddafi, requiring member states to arrest him if he was on their territory. Niger authorities have said they are holding Saadi Gaddafi, but have refused to extradite him. Gaddafi is also subject to a travel ban and asset freeze under a UN Security Council resolution passed earlier this year.
