Riyadh insists that the hit-squad that murdered a Saudi journalist in Istanbul went rogue and that the Royal family has nothing to do with Khashoggi’s killing. Turkey claims to have audio evidence of Khashoggi’s murder, which it shared with the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, France, and the UK.
In an interview with Germany’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu shared that he had listened to the audio recording, allegedly made as journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on 2 October. Cavusoglu called the killing disgusting and suggested that the person, who dismembered Khashoggi’s body enjoyed the process.
