Main point missing from the title - said government official was then released for unspecified reasons and is now in Israel.

Have to wonder why he was even allowed to flee the country in the first place. They didn’t gank his passport?

He ain’t coming back now.

If he did something which hurt the government he wouldn't get away.

There's a story of the Saudi embassy in the US (correction: it was the Canada-based embassy of this "great" nation) issuing fake identities to suspects of crime (sexual assault) to allow them to flee. A quick search of "saudi arabian rapist fake passport" gives me a lot of hits that Jeffrey Epstein also had a Saudi Arabian passport... huh.

But since the Israelis are noble and are the only free democracy of that region, I can't imagine they would do something like that... /S

Missed as not returned by search. As appears to be the case for this posting too. Neither is (currently) flagged.

I get a feel that paedophilia is much more common than you would think.
