Turkish prosecutors are questioning a number of employees of the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul over the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the Anadolu agency has reported.
Private A Haber TV said as many as 15 employees were being questioned on Friday.
The station said they included the consul’s driver, technicians, accountants and telephone operators.
Mr Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2.
Turkish reports say Mr Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered inside the consulate by members of an assassination squad with ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The Saudis have dismissed those reports as baseless.
