As part of a sweeping anti-corruption probe, Saudi Arabia has arresteddozens of prominent princes, military commanders, businessmen, and government officials. The surprise arrests come from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after he promised to implement reform and root out systemic corruption from the royal family long accused of squandering public funds and misusing oil revenue.
Billionaire entrepreneur Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who criticized Donald Trump savagely during the presidential campaign, was among those detained by a newly organized state security agency.
