RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi businessman Amr Dabbagh and two management consultants have been released more than a year ago after their detention in a corruption crackdown which has shaken investor confidence in the world's top oil exporter, seven sources said on Wednesday. Scores of princes, top officials and businessmen were held in Riyadh’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel on the orders of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in November 2017. The others released this week, according to the sources who requested anonymity, are Hani Khoja and Sami al-Zuhaibi. The men could not be reached, and the Saudi government communications office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Saudi official told Reuters at the time of his release that Assaf had been cleared of any wrongdoing and without making any payment to the state.
