    From Bloomberg:

    Libyan Investment Deputy Zarti May Face Austrian Asset Freeze

    By Jonathan Tirone

    Austria’s central bank is reviewing whether to expand an asset freeze imposed on 26 Libyans to include the deputy chief executive officer of the North African country’s sovereign wealth fund.

    The National Bank doesn’t know when examiners will conclude their review of Mustafa Zarti’s accounts, spokeswoman Alexandra Majer said today in a telephone interview without providing further details. The Foreign Ministry requested a freeze on Zarti’s assets, spokesman Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal said in a telephone interview.

    “He is not on the original list even though he is very close to the Qaddafi family,” Launsky-Tieffenthal said. The foreign ministry is conducting a parallel investigation into how Zarti received Austrian citizenship, he said.
    Zarti’s telephone at the Libyan Investment Authority wasn’t answered during business hours in Tripoli today. Libya, through its $70 billion Investment Authority, holds shares of Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (RBS), Finmeccanica SpA (FNC) and Pearson Plc, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

    Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and his entourage may have invested around 30 billion euros ($42 billion) in Austria, Vienna’s Die Presse newspaper reported today citing an unnamed former aide to the Libyan leader. Austrian banks have 1.2 billion euros in deposits from Libyan clients, the central bank said March 1.

    Zarti, a friend of Qaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam, may have funneled investments through Austrian foundations, according to the Die Presse report. He flew from Tripoli to Vienna on Feb. 21, the newspaper said, citing an unidentified source familiar with the investigation.
