Seif al-Islam Gaddafi was born in 1972. He studied in Switzerland and the UK, where he graduated from The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). During his father's reign, he was engaged in external relations of Libya with Western countries. After the overthrow of his father, he led the resistance for a short time, but at the end of 2011 he was captured and brought to trial. In 2017, he was released thanks to the amnesty proclaimed by the Libyan government.
In 2018, he took part in the presidential elections disrupted due to the onset of the offensive by the troops of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar on the Libyan capital. According to Bloomberg, Seif al-Islam allegedly repeatedly flew to Moscow for financial and diplomatic support. This information was not confirmed in Russia.
