Most of them were caught in the capital Riyadh and in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah, Madina and other cities, Sabq Arabic language daily said.
They involved illegitimate relationships, harassment of women and other cases. One of them was a famous retired footballer and another was a non-Saudi player, according to the paper.
