SACC

The Saudi extradition request was based on allegations against Aljabri from the Supreme Anti-Corruption Committee, known as SACC, which MBS had used to prepare the Ritz-Carlton arrests and other operations.

The Interpol commission noted that it had “mapped” three aspects of SACC’s operations: “the selectivity of its subjects, the political nature of its motives, and the lack of due process and human rights guarantees in its procedure.”

Zuma's office acknowledged the SACC's 10-page list of concerns in a letter dated December 6, although ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu declined to comment, saying the party had only been made aware of the letter from Tuesday's newspapers.

It is caused by a fungus known as Cercospora circumscissa Sacc.

Tutu's successor at SACC, a group deeply distrusted by the authorities, is the Rev. Christiaan Beyers Naudé.
