Saudi Arabia’s richest man was thrown in prison earlier this week after spending more than two months on lockdown at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Riyadh, London-based news site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reports.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was held at the hotel along with 200 other princes and high-level officials since early November. The group was arrested as part of a large-scale anti-corruption crackdown authorized by the Saudi king and carried out by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
