He threatened the richest man in the world: UN Shows Bin Salman's Message to Beso

On November 8, 2018, just one month after the murder of Yamal Khashogg, Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, received a text from Mohammed bin Salman's Himap account.

According to the UN, the message from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia contained a single photograph in which a woman with whom the married billionaire had a secret relationship appeared. It also contained a bitter message.

It read: Whether to argue with a woman is the same as reading the software license agreement. Finally you have to ignore everything and click “I agree. ””

For Agnes Callamard, the special UN rapporteur investigating Khasogg's murder, it seemed that the message was evidence of an attempt by the future king to “intified” Bezos, writes The Guardian, translates Periscope.

She told Guardian that she seemed to want to make Bezos appear vulnerable, at the time that his newspaper, the Washington Post, continued to publish strong articles about the murder of one of her journalists [because Khahoggi worked for the Washington Post].

The UN also finds that Bezos's phone was hacked by Saudi Arabia even months before Khashogg was killed, which tells of an orchestrated cyber campaign targeting Bezos.

Callamard said: “This shows that during this period, there was a concerted effort to avenge the system of people considered a threat to Mohammed bin Salman or to the Saudi Arabia government system. ”

This could harm relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia, and would forever change politics in the Middle East. Mohammed bin Salman is difficult to punish from his country, or the king on duty, in order to preserve relations with the United States. /Periscope
