Saudi Arabia frees 23 detained in corruption crackdown
Saudi Arabia is releasing 23 of the more than 200 royals and businesspeople held since a November crackdown after they reached deals with the government, Reuters reports, citing the Okaz newspaper.
The report does not name those involved in what appears to be the first large-scale release since they were detained in the sweep headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
