A SON of Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi owns a £10m house in Hampstead Garden suburb, it has been revealed.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the second son of the imperilled leader, bought the huge property in Winnington Close, near the so-called “billionaires row” in Bishops Avenue, in 2009.
There are fears he may attempt to return to the UK following the violent uprising in Libya, where rebels are said to be close to overthrowing his father’s regime.
It is rumoured he has tried to rent out the property for around £10,000 per week.
Now Finchley and Golders Green MP Mike Freer has called for the eight-bedroomed neo-Georgian property to be seized by the British government and the family be barred from entering Britain.
He said: “Other members of the Gaddafi family have tried to escape the anger of the Libyan people by flying to Malta and the Lebanon but have they have rightly been turned away by those nations. “Britain must take exactly the same stance and refuse entry so they do not come and use the house located in Hampstead Garden Suburb.
“This house and any other assets in the UK should be seized until the provenance of the family’s funds can be determined.”
