Block Saudi Newcastle takeover, Kashoggi fiancee
ANKARA 29 Apr (ANA) - The fiancée of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has urged the Premier League to block the takeover of Newcastle United by Saudi Arabia.
Khashoggi, a dissident Saudi columnist, was killed in 2018 inside Saudi Arabia's consulate in Turkey.
Western intelligence agencies believe Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered his death - which he denies.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, led by the prince, looks set to acquire an 80% stake in the club.
But lawyers speaking on behalf of Hatice Cengiz, Khashoggi's fiancée, said the takeover should be blocked over the killing.(ANA)
