Former Saudi aide Jamal Khashoggi was killed and dismembered in 2018 at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. The killing sparked an international outcry and made Prince Mohammed bin Salman a disgrace in the West. Saudi authorities have always denied his responsibility, but it is believed that the assassination was ordered by American intelligence.

It was this complaint that Judge Bates rejected in his opinion “Concern over the circumstances of Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s appointment and credible allegations of his involvement in Khashoggi’s assassination”..
