During the recent reported arrests of high-profile businessmen and princes in Saudi Arabia, the world was caught by YET another surprise this week. According to several media outlets, bank accounts of said people have also been frozen during this investigational period. 

The freezing of bank accounts are only being done to these people’s personal private accounts and not their company’s they own

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency told news agencies that only private accounts were being frozen, due to the anti- corruption committee, excluding the corporations they are associated with.
