Speaking on behalf of the family, Khashoggi’s son Salah denied that any “settlement discussion” had taken place or is currently being discussed, in an English language statement published to Twitter on Wednesday. He added that those charged with committing the brutal murder were currently on trial and that they would “all be brought to justice and face punishment.”

Earlier in April the deceased journalist’s former employers at the Washington Post alleged that Khashoggi’s children, including Salah, had received homes worth millions of dollars in the months following their father’s murder, and were also in receipt of monthly stipends from Saudi authorities worth thousands of dollars.
Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist who fled the kingdom for self-imposed exile in 2017, wrote regularly for the Post with stories critical of the Saudi regime and its heir apparent, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. His murder inside Saudi Arabia’s Istanbul consulate by a hit-team in October last year sent shockwaves around the world, shining an uncomfortable spotlight on the young ruler and his inner circle.
The kingdom first denied any knowledge of Khashoggi’s death, later admitting that his death was caused by a rogue team. Saudi prosecutors have since charged 11 people over the murder, and is seeking the death penalty for five of them.

There is a lesson in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi for all of us – the American green card and residency in the United States often come at a price: you have to spy for America!
