Saudi princes and billionaire businessmen arrested in a power grab earlier this month are being strung up by their feet and beaten by American private security contractors, a source in the country tells DailyMail.com.
The group of the country's most powerful figures were arrested in a crackdown ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman three weeks ago as he ordered the detention of at least 11 fellow princes and hundreds of businessmen and government officials over claims of corruption.
DailyMail.com can disclose that the arrests have been followed by 'interrogations' which a source said were being carried out by 'American mercenaries' brought in to work for the 32-year-old crown prince, who is now the kingdom's most powerful figure.
'They are beating them, torturing them, slapping them, insulting them. They want to break them down,' the source told DailyMail.com.
'Blackwater' has been named by DailyMail.com's source as the firm involved, and the claim of its presence in Saudi Arabia has also been made on Arabic social media, and by Lebanon's president.
The firm's successor, Academi, strongly denies even being in Saudi Arabia and says it does not engage in torture, which it is illegal for any U.S. citizen to commit anywhere in the world.
The Saudi crown prince, according to the source, has also confiscated more than $194 billion from the bank accounts and seized assets of those arrested.

Saudi billionaires, plutocrats, and cronies strung up being beaten by Americans?
Where do I sign up?
That’s a switch.
They’ve been subject to rendition in their five-star hotel, with the unprincipled torturers reportedly Americans. Usually the stories we here go in the opposite direction.
194 billion, nice little haul for the new guy!
perhaps blakcwater can get a few good leads out of them...
Do you mean in the sense of, “Payback is a b**ch?” As, in the guys on the bridge?
First lie.
There is no “Blackwater.”
IIRC, Blackwater changed its name to Xe, and is now know as Academi.
And for the hard core who will not break under other torture, they bring in Hillary to SCREACH CONSTANTLY in their ears. It reduces the best of them to whimpering little pups.
karma’s a witch indeed.
At least they aren’t water boarding.
didn’t the germans bust a christmas market plot a few days ago?
I thought Blackwater was out of business. I know they changed their name a while back.
The Saudis don’t need foreigners to help them interrogate people. In fact, it used to be that “renditions” were used to send people to that part of the world
for prisoners to be interrogated in ways that would be illegal in the US.
Maybe to obtain info on the Clintons and Obama?
I am no expert on Saudi Arabia...but why would they need American mercenaries to do that kind of work? Isn’t it more plausible the source is an enemy of the ruling Prince who is happy to falsely claim they are being tortured by American infidels in order to get the population there more upset about it?
Lemee guess, then they sell these Saudis’ organs to Jews in Israel. Might as roll all of their lies about the Iraq war into one convenient ball of wax.
Are they after the perfect Christmas present for Our Donald?
That it isn’t British, or Saudi locals but specifically American mercenaries makes this smell of bullshite.
That settles it, it's got to be true. /sarc
Why call upon American contractors, when the Saudi secret police can and do prepare much more exquisite tortures for their fellow Muslims? I’m not sure this is a job they would want to contract out.
Most of the “suspect” persons in custody are acting as agents for the Iranian theocracy, trying to foment Shi’ite uprisings within the Saudi kingdom.
A vast purge is in order. And already under way.
