The court said Sneidel is wanted for war crimes, including murder, torture and outrages upon personal dignity, allegedly committed in Benghazi or surrounding areas in Libya on or before June 3, 2016, through on or about July 17, 2017. The UN Security Council referred the situation in Libya to the ICC prosecutor under Resolution 1970, dated February 26, 2011. On March 3, 2011, the prosecutor announced the decision to open an investigation into the Libya situation. According to the court, eight other public arrest warrants issued by the ICC remain outstanding for Osama Najim, Abdulrahim Al-Shaqaqi, Makhlouf Douma, Nasser Dhou, Mohammed Salmi, Abdulbari Al-Shaqaqi, Fathi Al-Zankal and Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi. ICC also noted that German authorities arrested another Libyan national, Khaled Al-Haishri, on July 16, 2025, pursuant to a sealed arrest warrant issued by the Pre-Trial Chamber I.
