The suspect, named Khaled Aedh Alotaibi, was reportedly arrested at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport when he was about to board a flight to riyadh, the Saudi capital. He was a member of the Royal Saudi Guard and was one of more than a dozen people the U.S. government announced sanctions after Khashoggi's murder.
French media said Khaled Aedh Alotaibi was traveling under his own name at the time. His detention is based on an arrest warrant issued by Turkey.
