PRINCE Andrew had three meetings with brutal Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi and enjoyed a long-term friendship with a convicted gun smuggler. In 2005, the same year Andrew met Kaituni, the prince's new pal was convicted of smuggling a sub-machinegun into France. None of this seemed to bother Andrew, who enjoyed a four-day holiday in Tunisia with Kaituni in November 2008, shortly before visiting Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli. However, he did get to meet the oil-rich country's prime minister, as well as business leaders, politicians and - most importantly - the President's son Saif Gaddafi. Materi fled Tunisia for the Seychelles following the revolution and was later convicted of corruption in absentia by a court in his home country.
