Al-Rumayyan faces $74M lawsuit for 'malicious' acts

Saudi Arabia PIF Gov. Yasir Al-Rumayyan , the chair of Newcastle United and LIV Golf, "faces being sued for allegedly 'having carried out the instructions' of the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman " with "'the malicious intent' of 'harming, silencing and ultimately destroying' the family of the country’s former intelligence chief," Dr. Saad Aljabri . If the court allows them to go ahead, the Aljabri family will be claiming for $74M in damages. The claims are made in legal papers that were "dispatched to Al-Rumayyan at multiple high-profile locations" -- including St James' Park, Newcastle United’s home stadium, "during the second week of January." The legal documents were also "couriered to Al-Rumayyan at the PIF’s headquarters in Saudi Arabia, as well as PIF addresses in New York and London, and St James'" ( THE ATHLETIC, 1/16 ).
