A handout picture taken and released on Tuesday in Istanbul by the Police Department’s Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime Unit shows a jewel-encrusted ivory dagger said to have belonged to Libya’s late leader Muammar Gaddafi and which was going to be sold for millions of dollars on the black market, Anadolu news agency reported. Acting on a tip-off, the police raided a house of a businessman in the Esenyurt neighborhood of Istanbul on the European side of the city and confiscated the artefact, the state-run agency said. — AFP
