Trudeau acknowledges Canada has listened to Khashoggi tapes
Trudeau is the first Western leader to confirm that his country's intelligence services have heard the recordings of what happened to Jamal Khashoggi.
LONDON Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that his country's intelligence services have listened to Turkish recordings of what happened to Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
"Are you saying that Canadian agents have heard these recordings?" asked one reporter at a press conference in Paris. "Yes," replied Trudeau, adding that he has not himself heard the tapes.
"Canada's intelligence agencies have been working very closely on this issue with Turkish intelligence, Canada has been fully briefed on what Turkey had to share, he said.
Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and critic of Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed by a team sent from Riyadh after he entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. Saudi authorities have acknowledged that the killing was premeditated, but blamed the murder on rogue operatives. His body has not been found.
