Turkish prosecutors issued a second indictment on Monday in connection with the 2018 murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul. Six new Saudi nationals were named in the indictment, which was sent to court to be combined with the country’s larger ongoing trial.
Turkey’s case against Khashoggi’s killers began, to the surprise of some experts, in July after there was speculation a trial could not exist without the suspects present. The proceeding is the third wave of action into the murder after a Saudi trial and a more extensive UN investigation wrapped up last year.
