Hatice Cengiz, the fiancée of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi said on Thursday she was relieved that a U.S. intelligence report implicated the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in Khashoggi’s murder but added it is insufficient without sanctions against the Kingdom's de facto ruler.

Khashoggi, a U.S. resident who wrote opinion columns for the Washington Post criticizing Saudi policies, was killed and dismembered by a team linked to the crown prince in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.

A U.S. intelligence report found the prince had approved the killing, and Washington imposed sanctions on some of those involved - but not the prince himself. The Saudi government, which has denied any involvement by the crown prince, rejected the report's findings.

Cengiz also told reporters after a hearing of the Turkish case that she wanted the evidence revealed in the U.S. intelligence report to be added to the Turkish case file.
