Turkey has charged 20 suspects, including two former aides of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, over the October 2018 murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
An indictment prepared by the office of the Istanbul chief prosecutor Irfan Fidan accuses 20 Saudi nationals, including former Saudi Deputy Intelligence Chief Ahmad Asiri and former royal aide Saud al-Qahtani. The two men were charged with “instigating a premeditated murder,” according to a statement from the prosecutor.
