Saudi Princess on Trial for Workman's Beating

VOA New

   The sister of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman went on
   trial Tuesday in Paris over the alleged beating of a workman at her
   family's apartment.

   Princess Hassa bint Salman is accused of ordering her bodyguard to beat
   an Egyptian workman after he was seen taking a photograph inside the
   home on Paris' exclusive Avenue Foch in 2016.

   According to the indictment, the workman Ashraf Eid told police that he
   took a picture of the bathroom where he was working so he he could
   remember where items were placed before he started.

   The princess reportedly accused him of taking the photo in order to
   sell the image of the toney home.
