Saudi Princess Sued over $98,000 Lingerie Bill
We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried. A Saudi Princess, Maha al-Sudairi (wife of Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz) is being sued by Key Largo, a Paris boutique for owing them over $98,000 in unpaid lingerie.
Key Largo has begun civil proceedings in Paris which will include a seizing of assets. Here's where the story gets interesting. According to sources, al-Sudairi is most likely going to claim diplomatic immunity because of her husband’s ministerial status.... even though she's based in the luxurious George V Hotel in Paris and not Saudi Arabi. By the way, the George V Hotel is owned by her nephew, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Unfortunately, it looks as if Key Largo isn't the only store following suit. A Paris jeweler and a number of other boutiques that say al-Sudairi has not paid them. We know money isn't an option... so what's the deal with the unpaid bills?
