Saudi Arabia Receives Internationally Wanted Citizen in Corruption Cases from Russia

Saudi Arabia received from Russia on Friday an internationally wanted citizen, Abdullah bin Awadh Aidah Al-Harthy, for committing financial and administrative corruption crimes.

The move was possible in light of the memorandum of understanding signed between the Kingdom’s Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) and Russia’s Public Prosecution in the field of combating cross-border corruption crimes.

The Russian Prosecutor General's Office had responded to a formal request made by the Nazaha regarding the extradition of a wanted citizen for trial, said an official source at Nazaha.

The response underscores the commitment of both states to upholding the rule of law, strengthening international cooperation, and addressing cross-border corruption crimes, thereby ensuring that corrupt actors are not granted impunity.

Nazaha also acknowledged the GlobE Network's and INTERPOL's roles in pursuing persons involved in corruption crimes and denying them safe havens.

The authority reiterated its commitment to prosecuting those responsible for corruption crimes, both domestically and internationally. It vowed to ensure accountability in line with legal and regulatory frameworks and work to recover any assets and proceeds from committing such crimes to the state's treasury.
