Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas. Al-Riyadh newspaper in its editorial entitled "Eliminating the corrupted'' wrote that since the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud ascended to the throne, he has put the fight against corruption in the forefront of his priorities through many measures and regulations that ensure the preservation of the Kingdom's capabilities and achievements. The paper noted that yesterday, the Attorney General announced that after monitoring suspicious financial transactions of one of the executive officials of the Ministry of Defense with a commercial company and exploitation of his job position, he was arrested while receiving a bribe of one million riyals to facilitate irregular procedures for the payment of financial dues to that company, which proves again that no one is safe from prosecution and confirms what HRH Crown Prince has said on more than one occasion that no one who has been involved in corruption cases will escape, pointing out that was not merely a slogan for media consumption, but a national strategy being pursued by the leadership to ensure justice.
