Arrest of Head of Royal Commission for Al-Ula Project
The head of Saudi Arabia’s royal commission for its historic al-Ula site was arrested in 2024 on corruption and money laundering charges over US$55 million worth in contracts. According to the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority, Amr bin Saleh Abdulrahman al-Madani illegally obtained contracts to benefit a private company he had interests in through a relative before joining the government.
The contracts related to the Kingdom Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy. Al-Madani also recommended the private company for additional contracts through his work on the commission for the al-Ula project, which is looking to transform the ancient oasis city in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s investment in its tourism sector.
