Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, one of the most senior Saudi royals detained in the Kingdom’s declared crackdown on corruption, has been released after reaching a settlement deal believed to exceed the equivalent of $1bn, an official involved in the anti-graft campaign said. Prince Miteb, son of the late King Abdullah, who headed the powerful National Guard until earlier this month, was released Tuesday, the official said on condition of anonymity to discuss matters under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor. At least three other suspects have also finalised settlement deals, the official said. The public prosecutor has decided to release several individuals and will proceed with the prosecution of at least five others, the official said.
