Princess Hassa bint Salman Al Saud, sister of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been found guilty of ordering to beat a local craftsman. The French court on Thursday, ruled that Saudi Princess was handed a 10-month suspended sentence and fined $11,000.

The incident dates back to September 2016, when the craftsman — who was renovating Princess’ apartment — was beaten up by her bodyguard on her instructions. Consequently, the court informed that the Saudi Princess was sentenced in absentia and proven guilty of armed violence and complicity to hold someone against their will. Apart from it, her bodyguard was also given an eight-month suspension, alongside a fine of $5,600.

Ashraf Eid, an Egyptian-born French national, said he was humiliated and beaten up after being accused of taking photographs and videos of the apartment. Besides alleging that the guard hit him, tied up his wrists, put a gun to his head and ordered him to kiss the Princess’ feet.

Emmanuel Moyne, a lawyer for Hassa, said: “It is with great incredulity and indignation that we received… this judgment. “Further adding that he would appeal the decision and prove that Princess is “totally innocent of the allegations that have been made against her.”

Earlier, Eid affirmed that he was working in a bathroom in the apartment on Paris’ Avenue Foch and only clicked the photographs for future reference, when he noticed Princess’ reflection in the mirror.

As per his claims, this was immediately followed by Saudi Princess’ order to her bodyguard Rani Saidi, who took his phone, manhandled him and kicked him in the face. Eid also alleged that Saidi put a gun on his head and left him with two stark choices: “Kiss the princess’s feet or risk further assault.”

Eid complained to police once he was released from the apartment. Police questioned the princess for two hours, then let her go. Three days later, she left the country.

An Investigative judge tried contacting the Saudi Princess, but was unable to track her. He eventually issued an international arrest warrant for her in 2017.
