Twenty Saudi officials go on trial in absentia over journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s killing, which sparked global outrage and tarnished the image of Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler

Zeki Demir, a local technician who worked for the consulate, was giving evidence on the first day of the trial in absentia of 20 Saudi officials over Khashoggi’s killing, which sparked global outrage and tarnished the image of Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler.

Khashoggi disappeared after going to the consulate to get papers for his marriage in October 2018. Some Western governments, as well as the CIA, said they believed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the hit - an accusation Saudi officials denied. It says 18 other defendants were flown to Turkey to kill Khashoggi, a prominent and well-connected journalist who had grown increasingly critical of the crown prince.

In December a Saudi court sentenced five people to death and three to jail for the killing, but Khashoggi’s family later said they forgave his murderers, effectively granting them a formal reprieve under Saudi law. Demir offered to help with the garage door when a car with darkened windows arrived, but he was told to leave the garden quickly, the indictment said.

Tarnished? Shouldn't that read 'brought to light'.

Fine. The orders go from the top down. ...they were just following orders.

Given that Mohammad bin Salman, the de facto leader, ordered the killing, putting these invisible men on trial will convince no one that there will be justice for Jamal Khashoggi.

Turkey didn’t cooperate in the investigation and the Saudi judicial system brought the justice for Jamal’s family

So this tarnished a nation that financed 9-11?

so many killings

Unsuccessful attempts to outrage the Khashoggi case file and this shows exploitation.

Aren't we done with this? They told you that his family forgave the killers and they let it up to the authorities to punish them.

This inflammatory act of irreverence is an insult to the family of Jamal during a time where they have found resolve and expressed their absolute confidence in their national judicial process

the crime took place inside Turkey and that Ankara didn’t cooperate in the investigation,Saudi Arabia rushed the investigation for months, in presence of ambassadors, journalists and sons of Khashoggi,Turkey wants to show the world that it is interested and the fact It’s TOO LATE

Just a simple qusstione : are the turks spying on the embassys there ?

So i guess ww3?

This is what a US ally look like😂never condam, because money smells so good

Oh look, it's Arab Trump. Filthy men you've got running everything.

¿In absentia? 😀 They are hidden in some resort paid for by the RSA government.

Tarnished the image? Saudi Arabia needs to be shunned by the world.

Where is Mushner & MBS?

We know how badly you want to harm our ambitious prince, hypocrites.

their entire 'royal' family should be wiped out with a good ole fashioned predator drone strike.

Why isn't the MBS on trial?

If this happens to one eu,usa countries. But is happening to be one those,ugly, dirty ,inhuman happened to be in embassy. Not mention how was plan and process almost butcher shop not embassy. But eu,usa love and make special deal with saud,uae.more killing in Yemen so on.

over 40 year Iran regime assassinated many ppl around the world & nobody said a word.

MrBoneSaw isn’t on trial, so Justice will not be done.

Meaningless show trial. Turkey has no jurisdiction over Saudi Citizens outside its border.

In Turkey, 50,000 journalists are imprisoned

Turkey tried to blackmail the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by asking for money, politicizing this case, which it investigated in Saudi Arabia, and sentenced its perpetrators, and some were sentenced to death. However, Turkey wants to keep this issue to affect Saudi Arabia.

20 fonctionnaires, really ?

May justice prevail

Case is closed since 3 months when the victim family decided to end the case .what Turkey and it's dictator Erdogan are doing is Trying to divert the attention of the Turkish people from the bad economy and the endless war he entered.

Hi Mr Khashoggi I am glad Justice is happening Just in July 15th 2016, Erdogan jailed ~231 journalists, until this time they neither charged nor trialed. Many got assassinated!
