Saudi royal advisor in Khashoggi trial no-show

DOHA – Two top Saudi royal advisors have been linked to journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder. One has been labelled the "ringleader" but questions are swirling over the absence of the other in the closed-door trial of 11 suspects, multiple sources told AFP.

They are not allowed to bring interpreters and are usually summoned at short notice, the sources said. Believed to have previously worked closely with US intelligence, he is also not named in two American sanctions lists of Saudis implicated in the murder. Some Saudis claim he continues to peddle influence behind the scenes, but others say he is lying low, waiting for the international outrage over the murder to subside.
