It's 2005 and we're in Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
A French minister is on an official visit.
There was a dinner, an evening event, at the French embassy.
At the dinner, there are 80 guests.
There are toasts.
This is Libya in the final phase of Muammar Gaddafi's rule.
Colonel Gaddafi, the dictator, doesn't know it yet.
But within a few years, he'll be deposed and then murdered by a mob.
But for now, in our story, he's still in charge.
And then some Libyan officials turned up.
And they said, there's someone we need you to meet.
This is Fabrice Arfi, an investigative journalist with the website Mediapart, who's telling us the story.
He says the officials accompany the minister outside to a waiting car.
The minister gets in.
Later, he'll say he doesn't know at first where the car's taking him or who he's heading to meet.
There's no ambassador nor any diplomats with him.
At the embassy, they don't know he's leaving.
The scene the minister describes, Fabry says, is practically a kidnapping.
The car arrives at its destination, a villa.
The house belongs to a man that the minister shouldn't be meeting, a man who's been convicted in France of terrorism.
