There Are No More Detainees Left At The Ritz-Carlton Hotel As Investigations Almost Come To An End

Saudi authorities have released the final remainder of detainees at the formerly serving Ritz- Carlton Hotel in Riyadh. The 5-star-hotel was temporarily used since Nov 5 as an interrogation site of some sort, where royals and ministers accused of corruption got to be until interrogations and resolutions were to be concluded.

 According to a report by Reuters, the nearly three-month crackdown is almost coming to a close as a good $100 Billion in illicit assets have been seized. Those who have denied wrongdoing or aren’t willing to pay the financial settlements, however, are believed to have been moved from the luxury hotel to prison.

Most of the detainees did agree to paying financial settlements

Attorney general of the anti-corruption crackdown stated that a good 90 detainees were released after the charges had been dropped, leaving 95 people still detained and perhaps soon, to trial.
