Report Says No Detainees Left at Riyadh Ritz Carlton

The development came just days after media reported that Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal had been released from his detention in Riyadh's Ritz-Carlton hotel, converted into a luxurious prison to hold royalty and the country's officials.

In early November, the Saudi king issued a decree establishing a new anti-corruption committee in the country chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Few days later, a number of former and incumbent Saudi officials, as well as princes, were detained by the authorities amid the ‘anti-corruption' campaign, including 11 princes from the ruling family and four ministers from the current government.

During the investigation, 320 people were questioned and over 2,000 bank accounts were frozen.
