Saudi Arabia paying Jamal Khashoggi's children thousands each month – report
NB: We need not be surprised that the gang of thugs that comprises the Saudi ruling elite think that their filthy money can buy anything on earth. After all they silenced the President of the USA. DS
The children of
murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi have
received multimillion-dollar homes and are being paid thousands of dollars per
month by the kingdom’s authorities, the Washington Post has reported. Khashoggi – a
contributor to the Post and a critic of the Saudi government – was killed and
dismembered in October at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul by a team of 15
agents sent from Riyadh. His body has not been recovered.

The payments to his four children – two sons and two daughters – “are part of an effort by Saudi Arabia to
reach a long-term arrangement with Khashoggi family members, aimed in part at
ensuring that they continue to show restraint in their public statements”, the
Post said. The houses given to
the Khashoggi children are located in the port city of Jeddah and are worth up
to $4m, the newspaper reported. Salah, the eldest of
the children, plans to continue living in the kingdom, while the others, who
live in the United States, are expected to sell the homes, the paper said.
In addition to the
properties, the children are receiving $10,000 or more per month and may also
receive larger payments that could amount to tens of millions of dollars each,
according to the report.
Saudi Arabia’s
powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has been accused of orchestrating
Khashoggi’s killing, but the kingdom has claimed that the prince was not
involved. Saudi Arabia initially
said it had no knowledge of Khashoggi’s fate but later blamed rogue agents for
his death.

has charged 11 people over his murder...
