CEO of Royal Commission for AlUla Arrested on Charges of Abuse of Power and Money Laundering
Eng. Amr Al-Madani, CEO of the Royal Commission for AlUla, has been arrested on charges of authority misuse and laundering over SR206 million.
Nazaha, the Saudi anti-corruption body, announced that Al-Madani's associates in a private company were also detained.
Al-Madani allegedly illegally secured contracts from the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy for his company, National Talents Company, before he was a government employee.
After joining the government, he retained indirect ownership and pushed the Royal Commission to award it contracts, resulting in personal gain.
His relative, Muhammad Bin Sulaiman Al-Harbi, along with company partners Saeed Bin Atef Ahmed Saeed and Jamal Bin Khalid Abdullah Al-Dabal, have also been arrested for their roles in the scheme. Al-Harbi confessed to transferring gains to Al-Madani.
Nazaha is moving forward with legal processes and emphasizes its commitment to prosecuting public fund violations and authority abuse without tolerance.
