French judge orders 'Aladdin's caves' of shopaholic Saudi princess Maha Al-Sudairi to be seized to pay 12m debts
Three 'Aladdin's caves' of luxury goods stockpiled by a shopaholic Saudi princess are to be seized to settle millions of euros in unpaid bills.
A French judge has ordered the three lock-up stores in the Paris area to be cleared of jewels, art-works, leather goods and clothes believed to be worth up to Euros 12m.
Princess Maha Al-Sudairi, former wife of the late Saudi crown prince, has made headlines several times in the last four years by running up, and omitting to pay, immense hotel and shopping bills in the West. In June last year, she left the Shangri-la Hotel in Paris with 60 of her staff without paying the 6m bill for an entire floor that she had occupied for six months.
Princess Maha, believed to be in her 50s, is now being sued by six other French creditors, including a company which provided up to 30 chauffeur-driven cars a day for six months during her Paris visit last year. A judge in Nanterre west of Paris has ordered three lock-up store-rooms rented by the princess to be opened in the next few days.
