US court summons Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

 

The former Saudi intelligence agent was targeted in an alleged failed assassination attempt.

According to the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, a district court in the US state of Colombia issued a summons to Muhammad Salman a day after Saad al-Jubri filed the case.

In the trial, Saad al-Jabri accused the Saudi Crown Prince of trying to assassinate him by sending his assassination squad to Canada.

Saad al-Jabri, who is being held in Canada under tight security by police and private security guards, has claimed in the lawsuit that he was targeted because of his close ties to the US intelligence community and extensive knowledge of the Saudi prince's activities. Tried.

The lawsuit alleges that in some places, there is more sensitive, insulting and reprehensible information about Muhammad bin Salman than Dr. Saad's mind and memory.

Saudi Arabia had issued red notices to Interpol for Saad al-Jabri's return, but the agency dismissed the matter as political.

Saudi Arabia has also urged other countries to return the former intelligence agent, accusing him of corruption.

The summons notices include 12 names other than Muhammad bin Salman and state that if you fail to respond, a decision will be taken against you and the complainant will be granted relief as per his demand. Will be done

The lawsuit further states that Muhammad bin Salman ordered the detention of two of Saad al-Jabri's children, who went missing from his home in Riyadh in mid-March, while other relatives were also arrested and tortured. And all this was done with the intention of bringing Saad al-Jabri back to Saudi Arabia and killing him.

The former deputy assistant attorney general told Al Jazeera that "now Muhammad bin Salman will be lobbying hard for US President Donald Trump and Foreign Secretary Mike Pompeo to issue a letter of exemption."

"It's a strange form of law that would ask a court to dismiss a case because it would disrupt relations with the United States and its heads of state.
