Citing royal insiders in Bahrain, the new York Post said Jackson, 46, had purchased a 14 acre property near a palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad al-Khalifa, a son of Bahrain's King Hamad.
Jackson took off for Bahrain shortly after his acquittal on June 13th on charges of molesting a 13-year-old boy.
At the time, a source close to Bahrain's ruling family said Jackson was a friend of some "senior figures" in the kingdom, and had come to "rest and relax as a guest."
During his 19-month legal ordeal, which culminated in a four-month trial, Jackson appeared increasingly thin and frail, and on several occasions, sought hospital treatment for a back problem.
