In October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. There is still speculation about who ordered the attack and if it goes as high as the Crown Prince himself. In any case, Turkish prosecutors on September 28, indicted six Saudis for their suspected role in the murder of Khashoggi. The prosecutors are seeking two life imprisonment sentences and for the other four, up to five years in prison. For some commentators, the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi demonstrated the true face of the Saudi government: the willingness to murder dissenters and any moderate voices in Saudi Arabia. Turkish president Erdogan asserts than Khashoggi's death was ordered by the highest echelon of the Saudi government but has never implicated the Crown Prince himself.
