The oldest son of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi appears to defend the Saudi crown prince as well as the family’s decision to accept compensation worth millions of dollars from the Saudi government
By Greg Miller Greg Miller national security, intelligence, terrorism Email Bio Follow April 10 at 1:08 PM The oldest son of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Wednesday appeared to defend the crown prince suspected of orchestrating his father’s killing as well as the family’s decision to accept compensation worth millions of dollars from the Saudi government.
The story also said that the Khashoggi children are in line to receive additional payments possibly totaling tens of millions of dollars as part of “blood money” negotiations that are expected to ensue when trials of Khashoggi’s accused killers conclude. Saudi officials have maintained that the killing was carried out by rogue Saudi operatives and that Mohammed had no foreknowledge of or involvement in the plot. But the CIA, citing intercepted communications and other evidence, has concluded with medium to high confidence that the crown prince ordered Khashoggi’s capture or death.
Salah and his siblings were given houses in Jiddah worth several million dollars apiece, according to people familiar with the arrangement. Salah owns the largest of the structures, while the other properties are part of a shared compound.
