“Saudi royal Prince Bandar Bin Sultan’s assets frozen”
Grant Ringshaw

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “PRINCE Bandar Bin Sultan, the former Saudi Arabian ambassador to America, has been hit by a court order in effect freezing some of his US assets, as part of a class-action lawsuit over bribery allegations at British defence giant BAE Systems.

A Michigan pension scheme the City of Harper Woods Employees’ Retirement System has been granted a restraining order, according to documents filed in the US district of Columbia and seen by The Sunday Times.

The order, granted last Tuesday, blocks Bandar from transferring out of the country any money he makes from the sale of property in America.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Saudi mosque

New information has surfaced during an embezzlement case on the leader of the Islamic Center of Washington, who is the government’s chief witness in a case against its former manager.

Documents obtained under court subpoena by lawyers for Farzad Darui, the defendant in the embezzling case, revealed that mosque director Abdullah M. Khouj, a Saudi cleric, failed to comply with a court order regarding his use of post office boxes.

A federal court in December ordered Mr. Khouj to provide documents related to the use of post office boxes between 1984 and 2006, and he provided one envelope from 1995 from the Saudi Embassy to Mr. Khouj at a Washington post office box address.”
