The trial of two sons and dozens of aides of Muammar Gaddafi is set for April 14th, AFP reports.

Seif al Islam Gaddafi, Saadi Gaddafi and Abdullah Senussi, Gaddafi’s former head of intelligence are among those set to stand trial, according to AFP.

Charges against them include murder, plunder, sabotage, kidnapping, and embezzlement.

Saadi Gaddafi was extradited from Mali a few weeks ago and his older brother, Seif al Islam, is being held by rebels in Zintan.

The defendants were charged last October and are being prosecuted for abuses during the 2011 revolution that ousted Muammar Gaddafi.
