In a significant move against corruption, the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) conducted 1,585 oversight inspections and investigated 385 suspects in June 2026. This initiative reflects Nazaha's commitment to safeguarding public funds and enhancing transparency in Saudi Arabia. Among those apprehended, 130 individuals, including employees from key ministries such as Interior, Defense, and Health, were arrested under the Code of Criminal Procedure. Some have been released on bail as legal proceedings advance. The suspects face serious allegations, including bribery and abuse of public office, with cases set to be referred to the appropriate courts as legal processes unfold. Nazaha has urged the public to report any suspected financial and administrative corruption, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in fostering integrity and accountability.
