Saudi Arabia’s Anti-Corruption Crusade: 149 Arrested

In a sweeping crackdown, Saudi Arabia’s Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) has detained 149 individuals on corruption charges, including bribery, abuse of office, and money laundering. Some of these suspects have been released on bail, but the investigations continue.

Since early July, Nazaha has conducted 3,010 inspections across various government ministries and entities, scrutinizing 266 individuals. This comprehensive effort has revealed numerous criminal and administrative violations involving the ministries of Interior, National Guard, Justice, Health, Education, and Municipalities and Housing.

With an unwavering commitment to rooting out corruption, Nazaha’s relentless pursuit underscores Saudi Arabia’s dedication to transparency and accountability in its public sector.
