(Reuters) – Ethiopian-born Saudi businessman Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi, arrested in November 2017 during a crackdown on corruption, has been released from detention in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopian state television said on Sunday.
Ethiopian Television cited Arega Yirdaw, chief executive of Al Amoudi’s MIDROC Technology Group, as its source.
Two Saudi sources confirmed that Amoudi had been released on Sunday, nearly 15 months after he was detained with scores of princes, ministers and businessmen in the state-run anti-corruption campaign.
Statement from Ethiopian Prime Minister Office
Ethiopian born Saudi business tycoon Mohammed Alamoudi has been released from prison in Saudi Arabia. It is to be recalled that earlier in 2018, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed traveled to Saudi Arabia and discussed a number of issues with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. One of the issues included the release of Mohammed Al Amoudi. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in his Millenium Hall address later in May 2018 further assured of his return.
We wish Mohammed Al Amoudi a safe return to Ethiopia.
