Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan predicted that the kingdom would raise more than $ 13 billion next year in settlements with detainees, among what was described as a crackdown on corruption launched at the end of last year.

Al-Jada'an told Reuters that cash adjustments under the so-called anti-corruption campaign, amounting to 50 billion riyals in 2018, "will not be much lower" of this size in 2019.

The confiscated assets are managed and valued by the government-owned company Estidama, run by a committee headed by the minister of commerce and unrelated to the Sovereign Public Investment Fund, he told Reuters.

The minister said bin Laden, a giant construction industry - the government had a third stake in the campaign - would have a "natural board of directors" soon to include family members and government representatives.

Dozens of high-ranking officials and businessmen were held at the Ritz-Carlton during the campaign, which began in November 2017.

Investigators said earlier this year they were seeking to raise about $ 100 billion.
