Prince Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdul-Aziz al Saud, Saudi Arabia’s deputy foreign minister, sued the city of Los Angeles over claims it illegally refuses to issue building permits for a mansion because of pressure from neighbors.
Abdul-Aziz’s company, Tower Lane Properties Inc., filed a complaint Feb. 5 in state court in Los Angeles, seeking a court order for the city to find it in compliance with permit conditions and demanding $25 million in damages. It’s the third case the prince has brought against the city over the project.
