US sources: Washington did not grant Muhammad bin Salman impunity.
US diplomat sources said the Washington administration had strongly opposed Riyadh’s request for immunity from the Saudi Crown Prince.
The US Riyadh government told the Saudi-leix website today that the Riyadh government was “deeply concerned” about the conviction of Mohammed bin Salman in the case of Saad al-Jabri, a former Saudi intelligence official, and asked the Washington administration to grant him immunity, but strongly opposed it. The Americans are facing.
According to US sources, the Saudi Foreign Ministry has made this request to its American counterpart, but has heard the answer that Bin Salman cannot have judicial immunity, and in addition, there are cases against him that are still pending in the courts.
Diplomatic sources said yesterday that Mohammed bin Salman had stepped in and used pressure groups to rule in his favor in court. The Saudi cabinet also approved a large sum for the use of pressure groups in the United States, so that “Saad al-Jabri” would not go anywhere in his complaint against bin Salman.
Al-Jabri, who fled to Canada in 2017, filed a lawsuit against bin Salman in a Washington court in 2020, accusing him of plotting to assassinate him.
Therefore, Bin Salman does not have confidence in the success of his lawyers in court, and at the same time he has employed pressure groups.
Two days ago, a US court rejected a lawsuit filed by a Saudi state-owned company against Saad al-Jabri, ruling that the case could not be considered due to the US government’s use of one of its powers to prevent the release of classified information. . The ruling marked the defeat of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a legal dispute with Saad al-Jabri.
Saad al-Jabri, former Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, was a national security adviser at the Saudi Interior Ministry before bin Salman’s coup in June 2017.
Al-Jabri is said to have documents that could be used harshly against bin Salman, which is why the Saudi Crown Prince is seeking his extradition to Saudi Arabia.
