Checked in a hotel in istanbul and before you arrived to consummate they entered the. Car we did feel that even though that you cannot see inside the fact that our team arrived in turkey the circumstances of what they actually did the timing is concerned and also the composition of those people in terms of their forensic expertise that ranking one at least is alleged to be a very senior ranking Intelligence Officer and the fact that its also claimed that at least 7 of that team are extremely close in terms of the security in a circle of the crown prince himself all of this is very strong circumstantial evidence it all suggests that not only were these people implicated in the whatever how has happened.

At the same time the saudi ambassador to the us prince khalid bin selma in abdel aziz stated publicly that allegations that he had been killed or detained by the saudi authorities were completely false and unfounded. He then left for saudi arabia on the pretext of cities clarification. For the king of saudi arabia the king firmly denied any knowledge of it. He didnt really know may be i dont want to get it is fine but it sounded to me like maybe he should have been. Here. From the photos they. Wanted to give an example from one of them so of course we know just formed by and of themselves and we know that from started speaking about him before even the saudi government with us so he wanted to give them the exit therefore we can use it normal to cover. This unfortunately was. A distraction. On monday the 8th of october the turkish newspaper. Reported that the Intelligence Services while the lines in the movement of 26 cars owned by the saudi consulate in istanbul it said they wanted to determine their whereabouts on the day a show she went missing. C. C. T. V. Cameras close to the saudi consulate showed to cause a black Mercedes Vito 34 c c 1865 and another miss 80 salute 34 c c t 248 driving to the saudi consuls house an hour and 15 minutes after his show she had gone into the consulate.

Turkish investigators believe that dismembered body was taken from the consulate to the consuls house in the Mercedes Vito. This c. C. T. V. Image shows the veto outside the house before Turkish Police searched it. And on tuesday the 9th of october the Washington Post published the now famous c. C. T. V. Video of jamal her shoji entering the consulate 1 14 pm on tuesday the 2nd of october. The 10th of october the b. B. C. Reported that the turkish media had published pictures and names of those they said were members of the hit squad. The New York Times also ran the story reporting that her show she had been cut with the bone saw 2 hours after its death and that the orders to assassinate him had been issued from the highest level in saudi arabia. I mean so more pictures and i dont. Realize that those guys are really members of the. Song monster as a bodyguard. Let 11 days after her show shes disappearance on c. B. S. s 60 minutes donald trump was still insisting that the crown prince denied any knowledge of what had happened. But warned saudi arabia of serious repercussions if it were proved to her she had been killed. Is something youll be surprisingly saying that theres something really terrible and disgusting about that if that were the case so were going to have to see were going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment if they go on to claim that these people were acting without the authority of the saudi government and of course they can prove that by. Relinquishing the diplomatic immunity of these people and actually writing them to turkey for trial but if that happens of course there is a very big risk that those people who are put on trial for his capital offense will name the people that made the decisions and that may not be convenient of course to the saudi government. On the same day as the c. B. S. Trump interview the british french and German Foreign ministers issued a joint statement calling for an independent investigation. From. Found himself very pressed. His secretary of state mr bork to riyadh. Phoria you want to learn your realities they say so but i am not really sure whether he ran in order to investigate what has happened inside the kingdom also there of b. A or to fabricate a story. On that same sunday king solomon broke his silence on the case for the 1st time when the Saudi Press Agency reported that the king had spoken to turkish president on the phone and quote thanked the president for welcoming the kingdoms proposal to form a joint working group to discuss the disappearance of the saudi citizen jamal how charging.

Meanwhile the turkish government ramped up its pressure on the saudis. After all those friends each investigation. Made a couple of telephone calls International Leaders including the king solomon of king the more so they are and after that the sunni arab media has realized that the publication story of question has left the consulate is incredible so they accepted that mr question has been killed inside the consulate.

The program produces later established that this included chemical expert dr made up villas easily be an toxicologist khalid yahia granny this was the group that was reported to have deliberately destroyed evidence at the consulate and the consuls house. It is possible to fully clean a premises of friends or governments but what you dont leave is evidence that you have fully cleaned and therefore that also again is can be used and often is used as circumstantial evidence against the accused person. On saturday the 20th of october after repeated denials saudi arabia finally admitted that her show she was dead. A statement by the saudi Public Prosecutor announced the arrest of 18 saudis for questioning and suggested that the murder had occurred as a result of a quarrel. Closer than a smaller act after the up to. 10 what do you theyve. Actually up mother. Then it was. Then the turkish Government Strategy of leaking evidence finally brought the saudi attorney general.

The statement went on to say that immediately after entering the consulate the sharjah had been strangled as part of a premeditated plan and that his body had been cut up and disposed of. The Public Prosecutors statement crystalized each of the 3 main countries positions. The turkish authorities stood by their story. Saudi arabia continued to counter the leaks by the turkish government. And the Us Government continued to defend crown Prince Mohammed bin salma anxious to protect american commercial interests. Some members of the u. S. House of representatives and senate took a more robust position criticizing trumps action and demanding that saudi arabia and m. B. s be held to account. Other arab countries commented very little. And that the ballot ground cracked mortared harder. Shop and theyre going to have to open accounting of how to write or. What have frank have found it and respond to. The audio recordings shared strategically by turkish intelligence turned out to be graphic and incriminating.

About 2 hours later the recordings pick up 3 different voices on the stairs. One ordered the visa lounge to be closed another appearing to be a technician transferred c. C. T. V. Data and reset the surveillance cameras. The 3rd was most to file murder any dressed as a jumble her shorts the look alike of Jamal Khashoggi was a premeditated murder and theyre now telling c. N. N.

In the fact that execution will never be repeated including by the state of saudi arabia to which he was so attached. Has continued to call on the Security Council or the u. N. Secretary general to conduct an International Criminal investigation. But the sharpest u. N. Reaction so far was at the recent General Assembly on september 2020 when denmarks ambassador criticize saudi arabia on behalf of 29 mainly european states calling for quote transparency and holding all those responsible accountable. But the saudi government always denied any direct involvement despite mohammed bin salmond one suggesting the buck stopped with him did you order. Absolutely not this was a heinous crime like this but i take full responsibility as a leader in saudi arabia especially since it was committed by individuals working for the saudi government. And thats what the court decided when in december 29th teen it found 8 of the 11 men accused of the murder guilty but the crown prince was in the clear. 5 were sentenced to death and 3 others to a total of 24 years in prison. Deputy intelligence chief cea was found to have overseen the operation but former high profile royal advise a saudi of qatar name was released without trial and the former consul in istanbul mohammed l a tape was found not guilty. However there would still be one more twist in the story of the saudi trial went on the 8th of september 2020 almost 2 years after her short g. s death the saudi Court Dramatically overturned the 5 death sentences reducing them instead to 20 year prison terms. 3 others were jailed for between 7 and 10 years the un and human Rights Groups condemned both the trial and the revised verdicts the trial was a secret closed trial that there was no International Observers a manager of the victims or the accused were not published. And theres no more. Appeal possible so the nature of the evidence are every technical part of the trial or most has been questioned by. Internationally accepted judicial standards and yes calum are made her views known in a series of tweets she called it a parody of justice lacking in moral legitimacy. She said the verdicts were designed to protect mohammed bin sound man from any kind of scrutiny and amounted to what she called a whitewash. The saudi prosecutor said that this closed their case with no further rights of appeal 20 saudi nationals are still on trial in their absence in turkey and on the 28th of september 2020 turkish prosecutors issued a 2nd indictment against 6 more saudi suspects in the case but many people believe that until there is a full un led criminal investigation with the cooperation of the saudi authorities justice in the case of Jamal Khashoggi will never ultimately be served.
