Libya Files - Zakarie Mohamed Ali
Zakarie Mohamed Ali – also known as Abdalle Somali was a known hostage camp leader in the Kufra area of Libya. His alleged role was to manage kidnapped migrants as the camp leader and ensure their families sent payments before they were freed and put on boats for illegal migration to Europe. Unfortunately, Zakarie’s priorities were on getting payments by any means necessary including murder. Additionally, Zakarie served as the money man in these kidnappings for ransom cases for the Libyans. Using Somali owned financial institutions, Zakarie would use his accounts in Somalia to receive and transfer ransom money paid by already suffering family members. We have over 20 victims alleging monstrous behavior by Zakarie – many of whom have shown us the scars they suffered in his hands and images of a dead young woman that he took and sent to her family after killing her. We also have been provided audio recordings of Zakarie as he demands increased ransom from Somali families. We also have money transfer receipts that link the receipt of ransom money by an affiliate of Zakarie.
Zakarie is currently believed to be either in the Epping, UK or may have recently went back to Mogadishu to seek the protection of local government and tribal leaders.
