Powerful Saudi prince released from detention over graft probe:
"Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, the former head of the Saudi National Guard and a son of the late king, has been released after more than three weeks in detention over corruption allegations, a person briefed on the investigation said on Tuesday.
The prince was one of more than 200 people, including members of the royal family, senior officials and businessmen, who were detained in an extraordinary anti-corruption crackdown led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s powerful heir apparent.
Posts on social media by members of the royal family also said that Prince Miteb, considered a contender for the throne when his father King Abdullah was in power until his death in 2015, was no longer in detention. He would be the highest-profile detainee to be released."
