Why does the state of Saudi Arabia need to launder its own money?

Secondly to launder money you’d need to be able to maintain the cash once it’s clean. Spending millions to other parties isn’t money laundering it’s just spending money

Lol I love this group of people that's shouting "money laundering" without apparently having a clue of what that is, or why the monarch/dictator of a country would be doing it at all, let alone by just giving it away to a bunch of golfers

Live, like the opposite of Jamal Khashoggi? Probably.

The owners of money need to launder it to live? Because of the implied threat of themselves?

And the best way to do this is to simply give it away to golfers and never get it back?

Not money laundering, sports washing.

There's also the coincidental payments of large sums to the former president.

It’s not money laundering. It’s sport washing and probably more so than that, the Saudis having more money than they know what to do with and this provides a bit of excitement. It’s something to do with their endless supply of cash
