Saudi Arabia has requested the release of the stopped this Tuesday at one of the airports of Paris as suspected of involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi embassy in Istanbul. The reason: it says that there is an error with the identification of said man.
This has been stated by the country through a statement issued on Twitter, where the Saudi embassy in France has indicated that this man “has no link “with said death. Moreover, it alleges that the country’s justice has already handed down a sentence against “those guilty of the murder” and that at this moment “they are serving their sentences.”
For this reason it has reiterated the “immediate release” of this detained individual for whom there was a red alert from Interpol at the request of Turkey. And what is a red alert? An arrest warrant.
The reason: a mistake in the name
However, for Saudi Arabia everything is due to a mistake. According to these, there has been a mistake in the name used – Khaled Aedh Al-Otaibi -, which they claim that it is totally common in their territory. In this way, if it is confirmed that he is indeed the same person for whom Turkey launched this alert, he must be extradited to the Ottoman country.
