Kadafi’s Son Convicted of Hitting Companion
A French court convicted a son of Libyan leader Moammar Kadafi for striking his pregnant companion in a Paris hotel, giving him a four-month suspended prison sentence and fining him $628, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.
Hannibal Kadafi was not in court for the verdict, which found him guilty of assault and illegal possession of a pistol.
