A group of 32 people including an Iranian national who have been accused of spying for the Iranian regime’s Intelligence appeared before the Special Criminal Court in Riyadh on Sunday.
The court presented a list of accusations prepared by the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution (BIP) against the members of the cell that also includes Saudis and an Afghan national.
The spy ring divulged defense secrets and strove to carry out acts of sabotage in the kingdom, according to the Saudi Interior Ministry.
“They were accused of high treason against their country and the King by breaching their loyalty to the nation and setting up links with Iranian Intelligence and providing them with highly confidential information,” Saudi Gazette reported.
“The ring recruited people in government departments and trained them to send coded information to Iranian Intelligence.”
“Some of them also met Ali Khamenei,” the Iranian regime’s supreme leader, the report said.
