Jeffrey Epstein was told to keep 'close eye' on Saudi Arabia amid Ritz Carlton purge

Newly released documents reveal Jeffrey Epstein was told to closely monitor the 2017 anti-corruption purge in Saudi Arabia. The crackdown, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saw numerous royals and business figures detained at the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton. Epstein also appeared to leverage his relationship with the crown prince to forge closer investment links with the kingdom's Ministry of Investment. The files suggest Epstein had high-level access and a keen interest in the Gulf region's political and financial developments.
