Prince Alwaleed bin Talal freed from detention: report

28/01/2018 Argaam

 

Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has been released from detention on Saturday, more than two months after he was taken into custody in a sweeping crackdown on corruption, Reuters reported, citing Alwaleed’s family members.

 

His release came hours after an exclusive interview held at Riyadh’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where he said he expected to be cleared of any wrongdoing and be freed within days.

 

Prince Alwaleed was freed after he reached a financial settlement with the Saudi attorney general, an official source said.

 

“The attorney general has approved this morning the settlement that was reached with Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, and the prince returned home at 11 am,” the official told Reuters, without giving details of the terms.
