Two private jets used by the Saudi hit squad that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi were owned by a company that had been seized by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), CNN reported on Wednesday, citing recently filed court documents.
The documents, filed in a Canadian court as part of a lawsuit against former Saudi spy chief Saad al-Jabri, lays out how the country's $400bn sovereign wealth fund, chaired by MBS, took ownership of Sky Prime Aviation in late 2017 - less than a year before the murder.
The documents ordering the transfer are labelled "Top Secret" and signed by Mohammed al-Shaikh, one of the fund's board members, according to CNN.

Shaikh wrote it was important to MBS that the fund take over the companies and that "His Highness is to be kept abreast of what's being done".
According to a report by Agnes Callamard, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, Sky Prime Aviation operates the two Gulfstream corporate jets that flew to and from Istanbul with most of the 15-man hit team.
After Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018, the killers made their escape using the planes. One jet, with the tail number HZ-SK1, had landed that evening. Just over an hour after landing, it was back in the air with six members of the Saudi team.
Four and a half hours later, the second plane, with the tail number HZ-SK2, took off from Ataturk Airport in Istanbul with seven more men on board, the report said. The last two members of the hit team, who flew in to Turkey on the private jet HZ-SK2, left for Riyadh via a commercial flight.
The Wall Street Journal reported in 2018 that the jets belonged to a company controlled by MBS, citing people familiar with the matter.

Sheffield United are owned by Saudis aren't they? Will they be worried? Doubt it.

They're owned by a very peripheral member of the Saudi royal family, but there are literally tens of thousands of members of the Saudi royal family, their owner is the grandson of the first King of Saudi Arabia, but he had 45 sons and nearly 1000 grandchildren.

Newcastle were in line to be taken over by the next king of Saudi Arabia, who has been proven to have committed crimes against humanity.

Two different situations, though in an ideal world neither would have a stake in English football.

All Geordies would sell their souls to the Devil if he were to try to buy the club off Ashley.

I know, it's embarassing.

Though I'm not deluded enough to think that there aren't thousands of Middlesbrough fans who would be over the moon if we were taken over by scum as long as they're rich.

I'd boycott the club if we had that sort of ownership.
 
I think President Biden has ordered arms to stop being sold to the Saudis. Our PM has decided that the UK will continue to sell arms to the Saudis
Tories have never had an issue with supporting brutal dictatorships to be fair

No doubt Trump knew the truth, this report will have been quashed for months by Trump for 'diplomatic/financial' reasons, now that he has gone, the truth has come out.
