Saudi billionaire Twitter investor freed after settlement
One of the world's richest men, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, has been released two months after being detained in Saudi Arabia's anti-corruption purge. Prince Alwaleed was held in November by a new anti-corruption body headed by the Saudi crown prince. Prince Alwaleed is the most high-profile detainee to have been released so far. Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, who was released at the end of November, paid more than $1bn. Media reports suggest that Mr al-Ibrahim's deal may have included his controlling share in MBC - the largest media company in the Middle East. The anti-corruption drive was instigated by Prince Mohammed bin Salman - who has been accused of using the investigation to remove opponents and consolidate his power.
