Saudi Minister Al-Assaf, from detention to Davos Forumnote

Saudi Minister of State Ibrahim Al-Assaf, who also acts as Adviser to the King, is heading the Saudi delegation to the World Economic Forum (WEF) which will be held in Davos from 23 to 26/1/18. The move is said to have provoked confusion, especially that Minister Al-Assaf was detained at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on suspicion of being involved in corruption cases.
