The so-called anti-corruption organization in Saudi Arabia has continued to investigate many cases for years, and this has led to the conviction of hundreds of current and former employees in various government departments and many citizens and immigrants.
Saudi Arabia periodically announces corruption cases involving officials, officers, businessmen and civil servants.

During this investigation, 2460 accused were arrested and referred to the judiciary to complete the normal procedures in this country.
Saudi authorities intensified their inspection and surveillance campaigns over the past months and presented hundreds of cases to the judiciary, in which hundreds of people, including the prince, officers and officials of government institutions, were sentenced to imprisonment and fines.
Saudi authorities have also arrested a number of opponents in this country on several occasions in recent years under the pretext of fighting corruption.
“Salman bin Abdulaziz”, the king of Saudi Arabia, ordered the formation of an anti-corruption organization headed by his son “Mohammed bin Salman”, the crown prince of this country in 2016, and dozens of current and former Saudi princes and officials were arrested.
