Among those reportedly released were Mohammed al-Amoudi , a businessman who owns much of Ethiopia and Amr Dabbagh , a former government minister who once led the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority , which aims to attract foreign investment . The move came amid unprecedented global pressure of the kingdom and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman after the assassination of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents at the country ’s consulate in Istanbul
