There’s corruption and there’s corruption—the Al-Sauds take the cake
Does Saudi Arabia’s constitution condone corruption and murder?
Let’s admit it upfront. Corruption is everywhere in the world. In the United States, big time donors give big bucks or “dark money” to politicians to legislate and change laws in their favor. Still we are lucky in the United States that we can call out corruption and face no prison term and dismemberment. This is far from the case in Saudi Arabia, where such criticism of the Al-Sauds, the ruling tribe, could lead to your death or land you in jail.
