after being freed from jail, the family front man said Friday.
Saadi -- the strongman's third son now aged 47 -- was known for his playboy lifestyle and briefly played as a professional footballer in Italia.
He was freed along with several other prisoners, including Qadaffy's former cabinet and intelligence chief, Ahmad Ramadan, last weekend.
Turkey's foreign ministry has refused to comment on reports that Saadi has moved to Istanbul.
But Moussa Ibrahim, a former Libyan information minister who still serves as a Qadaffy family front man, told Turkey's Haberler.com news site that Saadi was in Turkey with his family.
"Egypt said it would welcome Saadi, and so did Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century.... And there was Turkey," the front man was quoted as saying.
"A common decision of all the parties involved was also in favor of Turkey, since it was easier logistically. Saadi also wanted to go to Turkey, and it was arranged."

In April 2018, the court of appeal acquitted him of Rayani's murder.
Since the 2011 uprising, Libya has sunk into chaos, with an array of rulers and militias vying for power.
A 2020 ceasefire ended the factional fighting and paved the way for peace talks and the formation of a transitional government this March, ahead of elections set for December.
But preparations are marred by disputes over when to hold elections, what elections to hold and on what constitutional grounds.
