Saudi princess gets suspended sentence in France over beaten workman
PARIS, Sept 12, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A French court on Thursday handed a 10-
month suspended sentence to a sister of the Saudi crown prince over the
beating of a workman at a luxury residence in Paris in 2016.
Hassa bint Salman, a daughter of King Salman and sister of Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman, had been charged with instructing her bodyguard to beat
up a plumber.
Tried in absentia and the target of an arrest warrant, she was also ordered
by the Paris court to pay a 10,000 euro ($11,000) fine.
