French court to rule on whether sister of Saudi crown prince ordered her bodyguard to beat up a plumber in Paris apartment
Prosecutors have called for the princess, who was tried in absentia in July, to be given a six-month suspended sentence for complicity in an act of intentional violence, complicity in illegal confinement and complicity in theft.
The 42-year-old princess is accused of instructing her bodyguard Rani Saidi to beat up Ashraf Eid, a plumber, after he was seen taking pictures inside her home in September 2016. Eid claimed he was also tied up and ordered to kiss the feet of the princess, who is lionised in the Saudi state-run media for her charity work and women's rights campaigning.
"When I heard the princess cry for help, I came and saw them gripping the phone," he told the court, referring to the princess and the workman.
