the billionaire prince Alwaleed bin Talal got caught too, PERFECT
The state should seize all his assets home and abroad and exile him if he will be proven guilty. That's almost 20 billion dollars alone.
Happy to see Tuweijri on that list. Long overdue.
Mutaib's little project "National Guard" also needed to be terminated. We can't have a second army (basically), armed better than most regional countries moreover, operate as (potentially) a separate entity with loyalties to Mutaib and not the head of state. Two rival factions, often competing with each other or undermining each other, should not be allowed. Been saying this a few times before.
Good going. I think I'll grow to like this guy. A first for myself. One more thing, what's the take on the wretched 'muttawas' and their godafather(s) the clerics?????
You have been sleeping for the past 1 year my friend. The religious policy lost their arresting powers long ago and they have basically been rendered useful. Nowadays they are reduced to voluntary preachers (many are ex-convicts who have seen the "light") who at times recommend people in malls, markets and elsewhere to dress like that or this etc. You know the drill. Even when they had arresting powers most people used to tell them to GTFO, women included, which has been filmed many times. They have basically lost most of their autonomy too of course.
The few (most vocal troublemakers within the clerics) have mostly been dealt with as well. Most recently in the middle of September this year.
I suggest checking this thread below out. Just read the first post that I wrote:

Ok, but if i'm not wrong you told us that he is the main investor of a mega project in KSA. BTW, i just got curious what happened to him all of a sudden!
What? He is not an investor of any state-approved project in KSA. He is not even a part of the government. He has his own personal projects in KSA but that is it.
BTW we are not talking about death sentences, exiles or anything else. I assume that people caught for corruption or for trying to undermine MbS (the state basically) due to personal interests or disagreements will be dealt with. Some of those people can most likely be "reformed" in this regard after spending some time in jail or house arrest. For instance I expect Al-Waleed to return eventually.
@Arabi @mohammad45 's comment actually made me realize that Al-Waleed was one of the main investors in the "Jeddah Tower" project. The 1 km tall skyscraper and city being built near Jeddah.

I assume that this will continue unharmed even if Al-Waleed would spend some time in jail or house arrest? Similar with other projects that he is involved with.
Anyway a bit surprised to see Al-Waleed here. Not more than 10 days ago that he gave this interview where he supported MbS's reforms openly.
Must be corruption as he has spoken about many of the issues that MbS has embarked on changing/has changed for quite a few years.
Disappointing whatever you can say about his personality. He is a clever and successful person. This is undeniable. Such people should be assets and not the opposite. Anyway we will know more soon or eventually at least.
