Days before al-Saadi Khadafy — the son of dead dictator Moammar Khadafy — stands trial in Libya, a new documentary reveals the debauched lifestyle of the soccer-loving playboy who paid to party with 50 Cent, engaged in wild orgies around the world and enjoyed videos of men playing sports nude.
In Showtime’s “Mad Dog: Inside the Secret World of Muammar Gaddafi,” airing Friday, director Christopher Olgiati interviews Libyan pro soccer player Reda Thawargi, who says al-Saadi — a wannabe soccer star whose career fizzled because he couldn’t pass drug tests — urged him to drop the sport so they could party. “He said that I played [soccer] too much. He wanted me to accompany him in all his travels,” Thawargi says.
He adds that al-Saadi traveled with “60,000 or 70,000 euros in cash just for shopping. He would rent accommodations for 200,000 or 300,000 euros a month.
“We would eat in a restaurant and pay 40 or 50 thousand euros.” And “we would get girls . . . we did group sex together . . . He liked boys as well . . . He would watch DVDs of gay men playing football.”
During one orgy, Thawargi says, the Khadafy scion “wanted me to warm him up [sexually] . . . to get his blood running.”
Thawargi refused and was later accused of stealing money by al-Saadi and jailed for two-and-a-half years.
Al-Saadi’s trial starts Monday.
