Bin Salman allegedly boasted of being able to kill King Abdullah: "I bring a ring with poison from Russia"

The latest broadcast of the legendary

of CBS has left a heavy headline.

It came from the mouth of Saad Jabri, a former intelligence official in decline.

From his exile in the United States, where he arrived after being pushed aside by the power struggles in the Desert Kingdom, Jabri accused the Saudi Crown Prince,

, of boasting in 2014 of his ability to obtain from Russia enough material to end the life of the then monarch.

It allegedly happened during a meeting between Bin Salman and Mohammad bin Nayef, head of Intelligence. The meeting, declared the now dissident in front of the cameras of the North American chain, is recorded on video and there are copies of the tape. "He said 'I want to assassinate King Abdullah. I bring a ring with poison from Russia.

'" said Saad Jabri,

that this conversation had taken place.

Bin Salman's supposed objective was to facilitate the landing on the throne of his father, today King Salman. Abdullah died in 2015 after being admitted to hospital with a lung infection. The precedents about the explosive heir to the Saudi throne are what give credibility to the claims of the former official. It has barely been three years since the murder of critical columnist

, whose last person responsible, according to those who have investigated the case, is the designated successor.

Saad Jabri was, according to a complaint, the subject of an attempt by the crown prince to end his life.

According to this, filed last August in a Washington court,

shortly after Khashoggi's death.

Jabri had been there for three years.

The complaint assures that the Canadian border agents suspected something, so they blocked the entrance of the supposed envoys from Palacio.

Faced with the evidence presented, a Canadian judge froze the assets of the dissident, who recognized during the broadcast of the program that he has a "posthumous video" prepared, with messages for his children in Saudi Arabia, whose permission to leave the country he demands, and new revelations about the Saudi monarchy.

In a statement to CBS, the Saudi government described Jabri as a "discredited former official with a long history creating and producing distractions to cover up financial crimes committed." For his part, in the interview, Jabri described Bin Salman, the 36-year-old prince, as a "

" who "feels no emotion and has never learned from his experience."

Although the murder of Khashoggi was one of the biggest scandals in which Saudi Arabia has been involved, one more in a series of blows by Bin Salman against his rivals inside and outside the country, the international reaction did not exceed some reprimands from his partners and allies.

President Joe Biden, who had been tough on the heir before coming to office, refused to impose sanctions after he was inaugurated, keeping the line of his predecessor, Donald Trump.
