A new documentary based on Late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has shed light on his brutal regime and his lust for power, where director Christopher Olgiati described the 69-year-old as utterly charming, utterly ruthless and stupendously rich.

According to the 'Mad Dog: Inside the Secret World of Muammar Gaddafi', Gaddafi used to keep his enemies' corpses in freezers and maintained a secret sex den on the Tripoli University campus where he raped students, the New York Post reported.

The documentary was compiled by Olgiati after interviewing those who were closest to Gaddafi, including his henchman Frank Terpil, a rogue CIA agent in Cuba.

Olgiati told the publication that Gaddafi was driven solely by his lust for power.
