I reckon it's one of those with more to it than it seems. In prison for a year, story only just coming out etc etc.
**** 350 lashes though, barbaric.

He was almost certainly selling it. Making it and drinking it at home goes unpunished. This guy was in business.

There is a lot of money to be made in the production and sale of alcohol. Risk is in transporting the stuff. People get caught.

Re: 350 back scratchers
Change.org petition has been set up, urging Cameron to intervene. Sorry, but there are bigger fish to fry...

Re: 350 back scratchers
Has a Change.org petition, or any other online petition ever made a different to anything?
Billions of pounds in arms sales or the life of a man who broke the (admittedly ridiculous) law of the country he chose to live in?
I agree that there is probably more to it than is being reported. Loads of people make home-brew in KSA.

Refreshingly honest:
"Despite his ordeal, Mutty does not blame Saudi authorities: “I would have no problem coming back to Saudi Arabia to work… I knew the laws of the country. I signed a document that I understood the laws and the alcohol ban was listed, so in other words I knew what I was doing and getting myself into.”

On a serious note: boozing it up and going through hookers is for the Saudi elite only.
