Germany said 18 Saudi citizens suspected in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi have been banned from entering Europe’s passport-free travel area.
Coordinated with France and the U.K., the notice applies to the European Union’s so-called Schengen area, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in Brussels. The list includes Saud al-Qahtani, a senior adviser to Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and a 15-member team suspected of carrying out the murder, a German government official said.
