This would have freed all responsibility for the man the Scottish and British authorities, a court ruled for the deaths of 270 people who was responsible for the bombing of Pan am flight 103 in December 1988.
High level insiders in the Scottish Executive revealed last night you were contacted by the Swiss Government, which said that you are ready, one which have delegated their prisons Megrahi.
The offer came some time before bomber's release compassionate reasons Kenny McAskill, the Scottish Minister for Justice in August 2009.
Although not stated if the offer was made to improve suspected Scottish Ministers, the Swiss tried, fences with Col Gaddafi, the Libyan leader.
Relations between the two countries had right that had taken place for two days in Geneva in 2008 on charges relating to a dispute with servants deteriorated greatly, after the arrest of his son Hannibal and daughter in Aline Skaf.
However Libya responded by withdrawing the billions of dollars of Swiss banks cut off oil supplies, deny visa and having regard to diplomats.
The pair were released and charges dropped, but it was thought that the Libyans henceforth could consider the Swiss easier via Megrahi's release as Scotland, British or American authorities regarding.
Last night a senior of Scottish Minister said: "The Swiss made us an offer to take Megrahi." "We turned it down."
He insisted that the approach by the Swiss Government but last night came an official spokesman for the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bern said: "No such an offer was made to the Scottish Government."
However, Swiss diplomatic sources said that the plan was the idea of a wealthy Swiss businessman but "never been by the Swiss Government as official position submitted".
Separated, Col Gaddafi enabled his fire on the United Kingdom which he claims, health of al Megrahi had neglected before it was released yesterday.
Col Gaddafi said: "We regret the fact not took no interest in, his health and you give him regular medical check-ups until the cancer had set."
"When he dies, the family is calling for those..., provided it deliberately to court neglected", adding that Megrahi's health now "bad had worsened".
In the months before the Libyan allows home, Jack Straw, who then said Justice Secretary, U.S. diplomats, he could until released to live was five years, according to confidential diplomatic cables from WikiLeaks site to return.
Mr Straw said the Scottish Executive was likely to free because there was nothing "codified in the law on its expected lifetime" al Megrahi anyway.
Mr Salmond "Parade of the festivities" in return for the bomber is released claim the Libyans cable published by site WikiLeaks offered, but these were rejected.
On Wednesday evening Kathleen Flynn from New Jersey who lost, you said 21 year-old son John Patrick in the bombing: "I'm sure the Scots to thought he was not to probably would die." I think it was all a big sham, "she said."
"We have killed a life of luxury at a murderer walk around 270 innocent people." This is so painful, it is absolutely crazy.
"His release was all about oil and I would not ever reset foot in Scotland." There is no justice in this world, that if you leave it to the Scots.
"Families are still losing their children and their families mourning all these years later, and the man which it is act in Libya at home."
The cables have also shown that Muammar al-Qaddafi, the Libyan leader also UK Minister with "hard and immediate measures" against British interests threatened if Megrahi died in a Scottish prison.
