After Saudi Arabia's success in Turkey (Khashoggi), it's no surprise that are trying to replicate it in other countries.
Edit: this incident happened a few months before Khashoggi's assassination per the article. It seems like the Khashoggi case is part of a bigger campaign.

I'm glad to see European countries protecting their citizens from hit squads.
