"Having just learned of these allegations through press reports we are moving swiftly to prove that His Royal Highness was not in Spain. As the records show, he was in France in multiple public places with many friends and business associates and was accompanied by French security officers all who can confirm his presence. Moreover, His Royal Highness was surrounded by his family including his wife HH Princess Ameerah, his daughter HRH Princess Reem and his granddaughter Princess Sara," said Ms. Heba Fatani, Sr. Executive Manager, Corporate Communications, Kingdom Holding Company. "While the Prince is a committed advocate for Women and has empathy for any assault victim, he was simply not present and we ask the media to carefully review these documents and take action to correct reports that inaccurately link the Prince to these alleged events."

Affirming and adding to information released in the previous statement:

* HRH Prince Alwaleed could not possibly have been involved in the alleged events because he was not in Ibiza during 2008 and has not visited Ibiza for more than a decade.


* HRH Prince Alwaleed's yacht "Kingdom 5-KR" was not in Spanish waters in 2008, as confirmed by the yacht navigation logs. In addition, HRH has never chartered a yacht by the name of "Turama," as press reports falsely alleged, and as could be reconfirmed by examination of the Turama's charter logs. The requirements for chartering a yacht include the recording of the name, address and agent of the person leasing it. Even the number and names of that person's guests, as well as those who are allowed to board the yacht, generally need to be recorded.


* As travel records confirm, Prince Alwaleed and his family do not routinely spend their summer vacations in Spanish waters as erroneously reported.


Due to his public profile, HRH Prince Alwaleed's private office department of Travel and Protocol has for decades maintained meticulous and detailed records of his daily schedule, meeting attendees, travel itineraries, events and delegation movements which are regularly filmed and photographed. As such, His Royal Highness will respond forcefully to all false allegations with precise facts and detailed documentation.
