A French court will rule Thursday whether a sister of the Saudi crown prince had a hand in the alleged beating of a workman who carried out repairs in her luxury Paris apartment. Hassa bint Salman, daughter of King Salman, is a sister of the kingdom’s powerful de facto ruler, crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, known widely by his initials “MBS”. The 42-year-old princess is accused of instructing her bodyguard Rani Saidi to beat up Ashraf Eid, a plumber, after he was seen taking pictures inside her home in September 2016.
