The billionaire prince who opposed President Donald Trump during the 2016 U.S. election is being held in a 5-star hotel after he was arrested earlier this weekend on money laundering charges.

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal is one of the richest men in the world and described himself as the largest individual foreign investor in the United States. He was among 11 princes and 38 high-level officials who were arrested during a large-scale purge in Saudi Arabia that started on Saturday evening.
