“The State Department followed up on what was circulated about the report that was delivered to Congress on the murder of the citizen, Jamal Khashoggi.
It points out that the Kingdom government categorically rejects the abusive and incorrect conclusions contained in the report on Kingdom leadership and cannot be accepted in any way, and that the report included a set of incorrect information and other conclusions.
It confirms what was previously issued in this regard by the competent authorities in the Kingdom that it is an atrocious crime that constituted a flagrant violation of the laws and values of the Kingdom committed by a group that violated all the regulations and violated the powers of the agencies. they were working on, and all necessary judicial measures have been taken to investigate and bring them to justice, as final court judgments were handed down against them, which the Khashoggi family welcomed.
It is truly regrettable that that report and its incorrect and unwarranted conclusions were issued at a time when the Kingdom condemned this heinous crime and its leaders took the necessary steps to ensure that such a regrettable incident would not be repeated in the future, and the Kingdom rejects any matter that may harm its leadership, sovereignty and independence of its judiciary.
