JUST IN: Saudi court sentences 5 people to death over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi

The prosecution official said that crown prince's former top adviser, Saud al-Qahtani, was questioned, tried but not convicted. Ahmed Asiri, the former deputy head of Saudi intelligence, was released due to a lack of evidence.The prosecution official said Monday that Khashoggi's family was allowed to attend. Members of the United Nations security council and human rights representatives also attended, he added. NBC News could not independently verify these claims.

His killing and the botched Saudi response triggered a wave of revulsion and anger around the world that appeared to catch the kingdom's officials by surprise. The United Nations extrajudicial executions investigator, Agnes Callamard, concluded in June that there was"credible evidence" that high-level Saudi officials, including

I wonder if any were actually complicit?

I take it MBS isn’t one of them!? 🤨

😯

Killing accomplices and witnesses. How better not to make yourself not guilty.

Convenient way to kill more enemies in the name of 'justice'. What a joke.

Hopefully the Prince is one of them..

What about the mastermind of the killing? MbSofKSA I bet TheDumbestDJT don’t give a shit that aUS resident was killed by foreign government

👍🏾

Yet the Prince who ordered the murder is still buddies with trump and Kushner. Also the WH and media sure are quiet about the saudi terrorist that murdered American military officers in Florida.

woundedamerican If they did and actually kill them it’s not for justice but to keep them quiet a clean up

Holly shit!

Not the actual people responsible. Not the ones who ordered the hit.

Not planned? They had a bone saw. jaredkushner has blood on his hands. IvankaTrump has blood on her hands. realDonaldTrump has blood on his hands. VP has blood on his hands. SecondLady has blood on her hands. FLOTUS has blood on her hands. SecPompeo has blood on his hands.

I’m guessing it’s because they know who the murderer(s) are.....

They're not being sentenced for the murder of khashoggi they're being sentenced for knowing who is responsible

But one of them wasn't MBS. Never mind, the truth will come out when Kushner and his communications are subpoenaed.

did may of them have the title 'prince'? where were they from? who sent them? make them torture each other until they answer.

AND are you asking why MSB is not in that group?

Awful

The crown prince himself should be the first one sentenced to death for Khashoggi’s murder. Instead he likely sentenced the people HE ordered to do the killing.

I'm sooooooo sure they got the ringleaders...not

wow, the prince really goes the extra mile when covering his tracks

Trump gonna try to pardon them

5 more dead men’s blood on your hands, jaredkushner. cc: IvankaTrump

Now imagine our Democracy if Trump had this power. Do you think you’d be safe because you voted for him or did his bidding?

A bunch of patsies is what they are.

Sucks when they people that made you do it are also going to kill you for it 🤷🏻‍♂️

And what about the prince?

Is MBS one of the 5?

Patsies

Any of them the Crown Prince tho?

Homicide is their cottage industry.

Was Jared Kushner one of them?

Except the Ringleader.

I see they didn't arrest the crown prince

JaredKushner and DonaldTrump both have blood on their hands..

Only 5?

Joni_Looking Do they know too much?

Journalism is dead, cry me a river.

MBS better be on that list.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest? --Henry II

5 scape goats.

5 more murders Trump and Co are responsible for

NBC you gonna get Jared's WhatsApp messages with the murderer 🤔

It’s called getting rid of incriminating evidence.

Poor fall guys

If one of the men is not MBS then it's a sham.

saudiLies SaudiKushnerCoverup bullshit

Sure Jan.

Does it include Jared Kushner and the crown prince

Human sacrifice

Remember Jared Kushner is very close to MBS apparently they discussed the journalist. Did the Saudi prince help Jared & his family financially? Also Jeffrey Epstein was a major $ launderer -including for Russians & was close to MBS-kept portrait of him in NYC mansion-talked often

No names mentioned. Could have been any five people. There are probably more

Their families will be taken care of...Trade-offs.

Arrest MBS and Kushner for the murder.

Fall guys.

Does that include the Prince!

Morning_Joe Ha

Now do Jared & the crowned prince...

Funny how people on this thread seem to act like we should care about the Saudi's killing a fake journalist. You know those people who behead and stone people just for the fun of it.

It doesn't negate the fact the MSB orchestrated Khashoggi's murder.

So a dictator just killed 5 people. normally that info is from intelligence, highly disputed, then followed by an awful regime change war. This time it’s just a tweet about killing innocent people. Okay. I guess it’s less damaging than war

I bet MBS isn’t one of them 🤷🏼‍♂️

Patsy’s.

They forgot Jared & MBS

Looks like they're missing the crown prince. He ought to be the first to be punished as ring leader

No more witnesses to the crime psychopath MSB committed.

🤣 Don't believe anything Saudi tells you but then again America believes everything Russia says and Saudi? Mmm so I guess it must be true..

Is this really justice? Or is MBS picking five people to put to death who know too much?

Was there an open trial? Or did MBS go through the list he compiled with Jared Kushner and picked his scapegoats from there. If MBS is one of the people facing the capital punishment, I rest my case, but if he's not, then chalk this up to his murderous pile.

Chinese proverb:A hare is dead and a running dog is cooking

Wow. I am surprised. Did not know they have court there. 🤔

Trump made sure his first hundred days in office the law suit to sue Saudi Arabia for 911 was shit caned

I wish people cared as much about murders here in the US... KAG

Sorry 5 randos, American media wanted justice

Saudi Arabia sentences five to death for killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside Turkish consulateThe country’s top prosecutor said three more people were sentenced to jail terms totaling 24 years. Saud al-Qahtani, an aide to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the most senior official implicated in the plot to kill Khashoggi, was investigated but cleared of wrongdoing. This is a developing story. It will be updated. They are just throwing these people under the bus, trying to convince us 'This was not condoned by the Prince!' I'm not buying it. Either the Prince has no control over his own people or he condoned this murder. One or the other. Meanwhile the one who ordered it and the ones covering it up walk free. Disgusting. Where's the story?

Saudi Arabia sentences five to death over Jamal Khashoggi murderSaudi Arabia has sentenced five people to death for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the kingdom's public prosecutor said. More sacrifices for the crimes of the wealthy, despicable And I bet they are all basically innocent. Probably some schmucks they picked up off the street to kill. Saudi Arabia is the result of an experiment where scientists decided to see what would happen to a nation if money literally flowed out of the ground.
