Saudi Arabia’s
Attorney General Sheikh Saud bin Abdullah Al-Mujib on Thursday held talks with
his Russian counterpart Igor Krasnov, during his visit to Moscow.
During the meeting, the most prominent joint parliamentary and judicial issues
were reviewed, in addition to discussing ways of enhancing legal cooperation
between the two prosecutions, Saudi Press Agency reported.
Krasnov briefed Al-Mujib and his accompanying delegation on the long work record
of the Russian General Prosecutor’s Office and its most prominent historical
turning points.
Al-Mujib spoke
about the role of the Saudi Public Prosecution in pursuing criminals,
bringing them to justice, and addressing everything that would harm the
security, social and economic peace of the country, stressing the unlimited
and continuous support that the Public Prosecution receives from the
Kingdom’s leadership.
The Saudi Public Prosecution and its Russian counterpart signed a memorandum
of understanding in early 2019, which includes legal coordination between
the two prosecutions, exchange of expertise and joint work in combating
terrorism, corruption and transnational organized crime.
