Tra il 1978 ed il 1981 (almeno) una complicata triangolazione internazionale consentì al colonnello Gheddafi di tenere in efficienza la propria flotta di elicotteri CH-47 e Lockheed C-130. Al centro delle operazioni c’e’ l’azienda Officine Aeronavali di Venezia. Lo ha stabilito un membro della magistratura italiana, e anche un tribunale USA: “Tencom also shipped parts to West Germany, with their ultimate destination being either Libya or Venice, Italy, where Libya had its C-130 fleet serviced at Aeronavali, an aircraft maintenance company. Aeronavali had agreed to repair the fleet of C-130s for the Libyan Air Force; however, Aeronavali would not supply the replacement parts. To obtain these parts, Luigi Scarpa, an employee of Aeronavali, prepared lists of the needed replacement parts that he transmitted via telex to a Colonel ElYazgi. ElYazgi would then order and obtain the airplane replacement parts.”
