The suspect was detained after police gathered evidence of his illegal activities. He has been referred to the Public Prosecution to finish the investigation and face potential charges, according to officials, who stated legal action has already been initiated against him.

Authorities also confirmed that coordination is taking place with other government and humanitarian organizations to provide urgent support and protection for the victims involved. The victims, who were used for begging, will be given the necessary humanitarian assistance to ensure their safety and well-being.

This arrest is part of a larger ongoing campaign in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia to fight human trafficking crimes and organized begging networks. Markets, prominent roadways, and public squares are still under the watchful eye of security teams looking to apprehend those responsible for these illicit acts. Those in authority have made it clear that the Saudi legal system views the exploitation of vulnerable people, particularly children and women, as a grave offense that carries severe penalties.

The Saudi government's actions in this instance emphasize human rights, anti-trafficking, and public safety. If someone notices any unusual behavior that might suggest begging or exploitation, they should promptly inform the authorities. See Also: Saudi Arabia reminds of the penalties on Human trafficking
