Charbel Says Alleged Lebanese Spy Undergoing 'Secret' Investigations in Saudi
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel revealed on Thursday that Saudi authorities are carrying out “secret” interrogations with a Lebanese businessman, who is allegedly suspected of espionage for a foreign country.
“We haven't received yet any information about the suspect,” Charbel said in comments published in the pan-Arab daily pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat.
He pointed out that the Lebanese state has “confidence” in Saudi authorities and awaiting clarifications.
On Tuesday, the Saudi interior ministry said that authorities have arrested 18 suspected spies, including an Iranian and a Lebanese, on charges of espionage for a foreign country.
"Sixteen Saudis, an Iranian and a Lebanese were arrested in coordinated and simultaneous operations in four regions of the kingdom," including the capital Riyadh and Mecca, the ministry said in a statement.
The suspects were working for a foreign country, which it did not name, the statement added.
