Christopher Ems

We went straight to the public prosecution where I had to report the next day in the center of Riyadh.

And they said, OK, we've got information.

Wait.

The US then published that very interesting FBI wanted poster.

Now that post is very interesting because they knew exactly where I was because they detained me.

The Saudis had told them where I was.

And then the second thing they did is they issued a block on all of my bank accounts.

So basically what I was doing is obviously I was trying to save as much money as possible.

I was staying in the cheapest hotels you can imagine.

And a cheap hotel in Saudi, it's not very nice.

I went to the ATM to withdraw some more cash to pay for the hotel.

Obviously, it's a cheap hotel.

They take cash only.

And my cards don't work.

How have they got the right to do that?

It's crazy.

that is in any way affiliated with the United States.

So what happened is he was like, look, Chris, I'll go to Riyadh and I will meet with the head of Interpol in Riyadh and I will explain and I'll deal with the prosecution.

Anyway, after three or four attempts, he managed to get somewhere.

So basically what had happened is the Saudis had requested an evidence pact in the United States.
