The fiancée of the Saudi journalist allegedly murdered on the orders of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman today accused the Premier League of allowing his regime to wash blood from its hands by allowing the sale of Newcastle United to a consortium majority-owned by the Gulf state's $500billion wealth fund.
Boris Johnson is under pressure to speak out about the takeover and shed more light on claims bin Salman had warned him that Anglo-Saudi relations could suffer if the bosses of English football didn't approve the £305million buyout of Mike Ashley. The UK's makes around £4billion-a-year in trade with Riyadh, including around £1billion-a-year from weapon sales.
