In the face of strong pressure from the outside world, King Salman of Saudi Arabia has announced that no crime will go unpunished, and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be prosecuted.

Saudi Arabia's King Salman, under intense international pressure after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, has promised to prosecute the incident, saying that no crime will go unpunished. He made this promise in an annual address to the Saudi parliament yesterday (Monday).

Although King Salman did not say anything directly about Jamal Khashoggi's murder in his speech, he expressed his confidence in Saudi Arabia's judicial system, saying that he believes that he (Khashoggi's) murder can be brought to justice.

However, the king made it clear in his speech that the reforms undertaken by the Saudi crown prince will continue.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman was also sitting in the front row during his speech about which Saudi Arabia has become the center of controversy for the world today. Grand Mufti of Saudi was sitting next to him.

Meanwhile, the CIA has already claimed that the Saudi crown prince ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Analyzing Prince Salman's influence in Saudi Arabia, the CIA said such an assassination could not have taken place without his permission.

Previously, Turkey had repeatedly accused the involvement of the Saudi prince in this murder.

It is to be noted that Jamal Khashoggi, an exiled journalist from Saudi Arabia, went missing while taking necessary documents from the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey on October 2. The Turkish government claims it has audio recordings of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. The media has already reported that the audio recording has been given to the Saudi authorities and the United States.

While initially denying the murder, the Saudi government later admitted that journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in a 'clash' inside the consulate. The Saudi government arrested 18 officers for this murder.
