Journalist Jamal Khashoggi went to the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul on October 2 and disappeared without a trace.
✓ On October 4 only, Saudi Arabia commented on the event. It was later stated that the journalist had left the consulate and then disappeared.
✓ On October 13, the country's interior ministers denied all allegations. The data that Khashoggi was allegedly murdered and cut off in the consulate by a Saudi assassination order called him "unfounded lies and accusations".
✓ On the night of 19 to 20 October, Saudi Arabia admitted that the journalist had died at the consulate.
"Talks between him and a person who killed him led to a monster and a fight, culminating in his death," said Saudi Justice Minister Saud al-Mojeb.
✓ The next day, October 21, the country's foreign minister, Adel Al-Jubeir, spoke. In an interview with American Fox News, the minister said the operation had not been ordered by the crown prince of the country.
"We will search and punish with determination those responsible for the murder," he said.
The Foreign Minister added that he did not know how Khashoggi was dead and that he did not know where the body was.
✓ A little more than three weeks after the incident, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself commented on the murder. He called it a "disgusting event". He also said that he was cooperating with Turkey and that "justice will prevail".
✓ On October 25, the prosecutor in Saudi Arabia stated that the killing had been "made" on the basis of information received from Turkey. In a press release, he said that "the investigation is continuing".
