Gaddafi and His Bizarre and Financial Links With Italian Football

While separating politics from sports, I have decided to write about the links between the Gaddafi family, Libya, and Italian Football. The links are bizarre and purely financial, with some love of sports in between. The two nations have had links in culture; Libya once was an Italian colony in the beginning of the 20th Century until World War II. Bizarre? Saadi Al-Gaddafi is the football loving son...
