In the final installment of our three-part investigating into the death of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, we find out what the US Central Intelligence Agency knew about the gruesome events that took place inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where he was killed. In January of this year, eleven men were put on trial in Saudi Arabia for their alleged involvement in the crime. But other people who might have been involved - indeed, those who may have organized the assassination - seem to have escaped justice. Meanwhile, we ask what, if anything, will change as a result of the international furore over the killing of Khashoggi?
