France Issues Warrant For Saudi Princess Accused Of Beating Worker In Paris Apartment

Saudi Arabia flagWe have previously discussed how Saudi princes and princess routinely flee debts and criminal investigations (here and here and here and here and here).  Now France has issued an arrest warrant for the sister of Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman after she allegedly ordered her bodyguard to beat up a contractor in her Paris apartment.  Princess Hassa bint Salman (aka Hussat ben Salmane) is named in a warrant.

The alleged victim was a contractor who was hired to do work on the apartment and took a picture for that purpose. She says that the princess accused him of taking a picture to sell to the tabloids and ordered her bodyguard to beat him.  He says that he was beaten and forced to kiss the feet of the princess before being kicked out after hours of abuse.

The bodyguard was charged on 1 October 2016 with armed violence, theft, issuing death threats and holding someone against their will.

She reportedly fled to Saudi Arabia and has been under house arrest.
