Here is a summary of events in the year since journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed by Saudi agents in the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate, an affair that shook the world.
– Never leaves consulate – The Washington Post contributor, who took refuge in the United States in 2017, is recorded on camera entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018.
His fiancee waits outside but he never emerges. The following day, the Post reports him missing.
In an interview published on October 5, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman says Khashoggi is not inside the consulate.
A source close to the Turkish government says the next day that police believe he was murdered inside the premises “by a team especially sent to Istanbul and who left the same day”.
