The National Anti-Corruption Commission (Nazaha; Arabic: هيئة الرقابة ومكافحة الفساد) is a Saudi governmental anti-corruption agency that was launched during the 2017–2019 Saudi Arabian purge.[1] The Commission was initially headed by Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman.[2]

The purge helped centralize political powers in the hands of Mohammed bin Salman and undermine the pre-existing structure of consensus-based governance among Saudi elites.[3][4] The arrests resulted in the final sidelining of the faction of King Abdullah, and Mohammed bin Salman's complete consolidation of control of all three branches of the security forces.[5][6] It also cemented bin Salman's supremacy over business elites in Saudi Arabia and resulted in a mass seizure of assets by the bin Salman regime.[4][2]
