SQUATTERS have taken over the £11m mansion owned by the family of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi in Hampstead Garden Suburb.

A group calling themselves “Topple the Tyrants” has unfurled a banner on the roof of the Winnington Close home after taking it over earlier on today.

Another banner saying “Out of Libya out of London” has also been displayed on the roof.

The home, bought in 2009 by Saif-al-Islam, was seized by the Government last week along with the family’s other UK assets.

It had been put on the market in January, but was taken off last week following the government’s action.
