Saudi Arabia Jumamosi imetangaza kuwakamata bilionea na muwekezaji maarufu Mwanamfalme Awaleed bin Talal pamoja na wanawafalme wengine wasiopungua 10 mawaziri wanne na makumi ya mawaziri wastaafu kwa tuhuma za rushwa
Kukamatwa kwa Mwanamfalme Alwaleed kumetikisa Saudi Arabia pamoja na vituo vya uwekezaji duniani
Anamiliki kampuni za za uwekezaji nchini humo na ni mmoja wa watu matajiri zaidi duniani akiwa anamiliki au ameshawahi kumiliki hisa nyingi katika mashirika ya habari, Citigroup, Twitter pamoja na makampuni mengine makubwa. Mwanamfalme huyo pia anamiliki mtandao wa televisheni unaotazamwa kwa eneo kubwa la Uarabuni
Kampeni hiyo ya kukamatakamata inaonekana kama njia ya kujiimarishia mamlaka ya mfalme mtarajiwa Mohammed bin Salman, mtoto wa Mfalme Salman
Akiwa na umri wa miaka 32 tu tayari mtoto huyo ana sauti kubwa kwenye jeshi la Saudi sera za kiuchumi, kijamii na za nje jambo linaloleta malalamiko katika familia ya kifalme kuwa amaejilimbikizia nguvu kubwa akiwa katika umri mdogo
Vituo vya ndege binafsi vilifungwa kwa ajili ya kuzuia wanawafalme wengine wasitoroke kabla ya kukamatwa

LONDON — Saudi Arabia announced the arrest on Saturday night of the prominent billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, plus at least 10 other princes, four ministers and tens of former ministers.
The announcement of the arrests was made over Al Arabiya, the Saudi-owned satellite network whose broadcasts are officially approved. Prince Alwaleed’s arrest is sure to send shock waves both through the kingdom and the world’s major financial centers.
He controls the investment firm Kingdom Holding and is one of the world’s richest men, owning or having owned major stakes in News Corp, Citigroup, Twitter and many other well-known companies. The prince also controls satellite television networks watched across the Arab world.
The sweeping campaign of arrests appears to be the latest move to consolidate the power of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the favorite son and top adviser of King Salman.
At 32, the crown prince is already the dominant voice in Saudi military, foreign, economic and social policies, stirring murmurs of discontent in the royal family that he has amassed too much personal power, and at a remarkably young age.
The king had decreed the creation of a powerful new anti-corruption committee, headed by the crown prince, only hours before the committee ordered the arrests.
Al Arabiya said that the anticorruption committee has the right to investigate, arrest, ban from travel, or freeze the assets of anyone it deems corrupt.
The Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh, the de facto royal hotel, was evacuated on Saturday, stirring rumors that it would be used to house detained royals. The airport for private planes was closed, arousing speculation that the crown prince was seeking to block rich businessmen from fleeing before more arrests.
Prince Alwaleed was giving interviews to the Western news media as recently as late last month about subjects like so-called crypto currencies and Saudi Arabia’s plans for a public offering of shares in its state oil company, Aramco.
He has also recently sparred publicly with President Donald J. Trump. The prince was part of a group of investors who bought control of the Plaza Hotel in New York from Mr. Trump, and he also bought an expensive yacht from him as well. But in a twitter message in 2015 the prince called Mr. Trump “a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America.”
