Purge of Saudi princes, businessmen widens, travel curbs imposed

RIYADH (Reuters) - A campaign of mass arrests of Saudi Arabian royals, ministers and businessmen widened on Monday after a top entrepreneur was reportedly held in the biggest anti-corruption purge of the kingdom's affluent elite in its modern history.

The arrests are the latest in a series of dramatic steps by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to assert Saudi influence internationally and centralize his own power within a hereditary ruling system at home.

The campaign also lengthens an already daunting list of challenges undertaken by the 32-year-old since his father, King Salman, ascended the throne in 2015, including going to war in Yemen, cranking up Riyadh's confrontation with arch-foe Iran and reforming the economy to lessen its reliance on oil.

Prince Abdel Mohsen bin Walid bin Abdulaziz was detained Monday along for allegedly trying to fly two tons of drugs out of Lebanon aboard his private plane at Beirut International Airport, according to multiple reports.

“The smuggling operating is the largest one that has been foiled through the Beirut International Airport,” a source told Agence France-Presse.

Airport security seized 40 suitcases allegedly stuffed with more than 4,000 pounds of the amphetamine Captagon and cocaine.

Perhaps. I haven't checked details about all of them but that Alweed [sic] has always been a creep that has been trying to undermine the freedoms we enjoy in this country. He was caught by the Dutch anti-fraud unit in a four-hundred million dollar bribery case. He's slime. A lot of his so-called charity work was to payoff colleges and schools here to follow with his agenda.

Apparently from the Reuters article the soon to be king over there is more inclined to the younger generation and they seem to want some relief from the old hardliners and the corruption.
