Saad Aljabri, who has been living in Canada since 2017, is asking a Canadian court to throw out an embezzlement lawsuit against him
This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A former Saudi spy chief living in exile in Toronto is asking a Canadian court to throw out an embezzlement lawsuit against him, arguing not only are the allegations unfounded but that the evidence on which they rely was gleaned from human-rights abuses and, likely, torture.
The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Aljabri hid stolen money in various locations, including the British Virgin Islands, Malta, the United States and Canada. Mr. Almuzaini was “coerced to sign false statements, including statements that relate directly to the allegations in the claim,” the July 5 motion says. He is still detained today by Saudi Arabia.“This action is tainted by an abuse of process on the part of the plaintiffs and by the chairman of the body that controls them, bin Salman,” the motion says.
