The sister of Saudi Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman will face trial next month over accusations she ordered her bodyguard to strike a craftsman working in her Paris apartment. The allegations are “unfounded,” her spokesman said.
The defense team of Hussa bint Salman aims to “set the record straight” during the trial scheduled to start July 9, according to a spokesman for her.
