Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has been released from detention after he made an undisclosed financial settlement after spending two months in detention in a luxury hotel.
The 63-year-old prince was arrested as part of a major clampdown on corruption in Saudi Arabia. He was held, with dozens of other billionaires in the luxury Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh until his release earlier today. Saudi officials said the prince made a financial settlement to secure his release but refused to reveal the amount.
