Saudi Prince Alwaleed’s Brother Released After Reported Arrest - Bloomberg:
The brother of Saudi Arabia’s billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was welcomed home this weekend after reportedly being detained for nearly a year, according to posts from relatives on Twitter.
The release of Prince Khaled bin Talal came as the Saudi royal family grapples with fallout from the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a government insider turned critic.
Relatives of Prince Khaled shared photos of him embracing his son, who’s been in a coma for years. “Thank God for your safety,” Princess Reem bint Alwaleed, Prince Khaled’s niece, wrote on her verified Twitter account -- using a common Arabic phrase for welcoming someone home. It was not clear why Prince Khaled was detained or why he was released, and the government didn’t immediately respond on Saturday to a request for comment.
