Riyadh, Nov 5 (IBNS): Saudi Arabia's King Salman has removed one of the royal family's most prominent princes from his ministerial role.

He has also arrested other royals and top officials in an anti-corruption drive.

Following the orders of newly established anti-corruption committee of the country, headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, police arrested 11 princes, four ministers and dozens of former ministers, media reports said.

The move has now cleared obstacles to his son's potential ascension to the throne, reports said.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who has a shareholder of Citigroup Inc. and Twitter, was among those detained, said media reports.
