Saudi Arabia: Gang jailed over SR10b money laundering

11 defendants sentenced to 52 years in prison and get SR62.5m in fines

Public prosecution has initiated procedures to appeal against the ruling, requesting tougher penalties against the defendants “to fulfil public interests in protecting the national economy,” the official added.

The convicts are two Saudi citizens and nine expatriates, the source added without giving a breakdown of the foreigners’ nationalities.

They were charged with committing money laundering and violating the kingdom’s cover-up system by manipulating commercial entities in receiving and transferring money of unknown origin through their bank accounts valued at more than SR10 billion, according to the unnamed official.

Bloodstained Men and other groups' push to not circumcise infant boys seen as anti-Semitic by some, a child-protection issue by others

Bryce says he’s suffered numerous physical and mental problems that he attributes to having skin at the top of his penis surgically removed decades ago as an infant.

Bryce and other Bloodstained Men consider circumcision to be genital mutilation.

“Organizations like ours are trying to show people there is a way we can raise awareness and try to keep baby boys from having a normal healthy body part cut off without their consent.”

The practice is part of Jewish law, and promoting its demise is “purely anti-Semitic,” said Rabbi Jay Sherwood, who leads Colorado Springs’ largest synagogue, Temple Shalom.

Egyptians were the earliest people practicing circumcision in 5th century B.C.E., according to historical accounts, and protests were documented in the Hellenistic period beginning in 323 B.C.E.

MI6's secret 'multi-million pound' Cold War slush fund

His office was the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service, best known as MI6.

The man was Sir Stewart Menzies, the service's chief, often known simply by a single letter: C.

Since Sir Stewart was about to hand over the reins of MI6 to his successor, there was something he thought officials should know.

For close to a decade he had an account that would become known as the "unofficial reserve", in practice his own, secret slush fund.
