Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police arrested a French man and his Nigerian wife after they raided his small factory in the Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice stormed the flat-turned factory in the capital Riyadh and seized a large quantity of home-made alcoholic drinks, the Arabic language daily Okaz said.
“They destroyed 10 barrels of liquor with a capacity of 140 litres each and 10 other barrels with a capacity of 16 litres each,” the paper said, adding that the French had produced alcoholic drinks in that house for nearly 16 years.
