Saudi prince 'received arms cash'

Investigation stopped


Arms deals with the Saudis have been worth billions to the UK
A Saudi prince received secret payments from the UK's biggest arms dealer, a BBC investigation has revealed.
BAE Systems made regular payments of hundreds of millions of pounds to Prince Bandar bin Sultan for more than a decade.
The payments were made with the full knowledge of the Ministry of Defence.
Prince Bandar would not comment and BAE systems said they acted lawfully at all times. The MoD said information about the Al Yamamah deal was confidential.
The Prince served for 20 years as Saudi ambassador to the US.

BBC: Saudi Prince Was Paid Up To $240 Million A Year For UK Arms Deal

"Bandar Bush" received secret payments from BAE Systems for over a decade.

Payments made to Riggs Bank in Washington. Riggs was owned by the Albritton family, which now funds Washington's Politico "insider" website and newspaper. Riggs also laundered money sent by Prince Bandar's wife to individuals connected with two of the 9/11 hijackers. George W. Bush's uncle Jonathan also served as a top Riggs official. The lines were always there, now the dots are appearing.
