Saad Aljabri recently filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court alleging the kingdom’s crown prince had tried to have him killed

Saudi Arabia has detained another relative of a former senior intelligence official living in exile who recently filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court alleging the kingdom’s crown prince had tried to have him killed, his family said on Wednesday.

Aljabri was an aide to Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, who was ousted and replaced as heir to the throne by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a 2017 palace coup. The sources had said that Aljabri has access to sensitive information that MbS fears could be compromising.Aljabri’s family said in a statement tweeted by his son Khalid that Aljabri’s son-in-law, Salem Almuzaini, was summoned on Monday to a Saudi state security offices where he was arrested.

The Saudi government media office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Almuzaini’s arrest. The alleged incident took place less than two weeks after Saudi agents murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate, sparking a global furore. MbS has denied ordering Khashoggi’s killing but said he ultimately bore “full responsibility” as the kingdom’s de facto leader.
