Sister of Saudi crown prince faces Paris trial: legal source 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe sister of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is to be put on trial in Paris next month for allegedly ordering her bodyguard to beat up a workman in the French capital, a legal source told AFP on Wednesday. Known by his initials MBS, 32-year-old Prince Mohammed has shaken up Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East since he was elevated to crown prince in 2017. But the crown prince has faced a diplomatic crisis since the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a fierce critic, at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October last year. Princess Hassa’s legal case is not the first time Saudi royalty has had a brush with the law in France.
