LUXEMBOURG (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th October, 2018) The European Union expects Saudi Arabia to be fully transparent and cooperative on the investigation into the recent disappearance of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Monday.
Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, went missing in Turkey on October 2. According to the journalist's fiancee, he was invited to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul but never left the consulate building. According to media reports, Turkish investigators believe the journalist was murdered inside the consulate, but Saudi Arabia claims that Khashoggi went missing after he left the building.
"The European Union expects full investigations from the authorities of Saudi Arabia, full cooperation with the Turkish authorities in line with what also our main partners and allies have expressed, mainly in Washington but also elsewhere. We expect and we hope that there will be transparency and full clarity on what happened," Mogherini told reporters.
A number of states, including Germany, France and the United Kingdom, have expressed serious concerns over the journalist's disappearance. US President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to "punish" Riyadh if it were proven to be behind the suspected killing.
