Saudi Prince Turki bin Nasser was among the 11 Saudi elite figures to be arrested on Saturday on charges of corruption as per an order issued by the King. In April 1948, a month before the start of the 1948 Palestine War, Turki bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud was born in Riyadh, becoming his father’s seventh son. The deal included Saudi Arabia paying millions of dollars in arms and bribes, which prompted accusations from journalists and dissidents of bin Nasser being involved in un-holy dealings. Although he was appointed to several official posts in the kingdom, Bin Nasser served on a voluntary basis as Chairman of the Saudi Autism Society in Jeddah. Bin Nasser is the cousin of Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
