[quote]Detained Saudi Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, once seen as a leading contender to the throne, has been freed after reaching an "acceptable settlement agreement" with authorities that saw him pay more than $US1 billion ($1.3 billion), a Saudi official says.
Prince Miteb, who was head of the elite National Guard, was among dozens of royal family members, ministers and current and former senior officials rounded up in a graft inquiry, at least partly aimed at strengthening the power of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The official, who is involved in the anti-corruption campaign, said Prince Miteb was released on Tuesday after reaching "an acceptable settlement agreement".
"The amount of the settlement was not disclosed but it is believed to be more than $US1 billion equivalent," the official said.[/quote]

I wouldn't be shocked if that's the largest fine an individual has ever paid.
Interesting that you can just pay away your bad deeds, as if the money will go to help any of the people he hurt...What the fuck?
The only language corrupt Saudi royalty speak is money, threaten to take it away and they wont throw it around so willingly
