Nazaha Probes 385 Suspects, Detains 130 in June Sweep

Saudi Arabia's Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) conducted 1,585 inspection visits in June, probing 385 suspects and detaining 130, the agency said.

The cases covered criminal and administrative violations. Nazaha did not name the individuals or the specific entities under investigation.

The June figures continue a pattern of regular enforcement actions since the kingdom's anti-corruption campaign began in 2017. The campaign has targeted both government officials and private-sector executives.

Nazaha referred an unspecified number of cases to the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution for further action.

The sweep comes as Saudi Arabia pushes to improve its governance rankings under Vision 2030. Foreign investors have cited transparency and rule of law as key factors in capital allocation decisions.

Nazaha's June report did not specify the sectors or regions most affected.
