Saudi Arabia's late Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Saud al-Faisal is at the center of controversy after a lawsuit suggested he failed to pay the bill for a series of pornographic films he had requested to be made, according to the Paris-based media outlet The Local.
Court documents obtained by The Local show al-Faisal had requested the making of three 45-minute long erotic films - for private consumption - from French concierge services firm SARL Atyla.
Following the production of the adult films, the prince failed to cover the costs accrued by the firm. The concierge services firm claims that when the prince died in 2015, he hadn't yet paid the firm the occurred $110,000 cost of production.
Media reports have stated that the late prince's heirs have refused to pay the debt. The company has therefore filed a lawsuit, demanding a reimbursement for the cost of services allegedly rendered for the prince.
The documents also reveal that SARL Atyla is now requesting the money from SCI 25 Avenue Bugeaud, a company managed by one of al-Faisal's daughters.
"He still does not like it… He does not like blindfold and being tied. Make a new one."
The films have not been sent in as evidence for the court yet at the time of writing.
However, a copy of various email exchanges between SARL Atyla and the prince's representative were filed and submitted as supporting documents, according to The Local.
One such script reportedly sent between both parties details the late prince's preferences and remarks in response to the making of the footage.
"He still does not like it… He does not like blindfold and being tied. Make a new one."
Some of the films allegedly star a Moroccan woman who was believed to be a "close acquaintance" of the late prince. A preliminary hearing on the case is set for November 15, according to RT.
