Saudi prince pressed Jordan to make arrest, court papers claim - FT.com

"A senior Saudi Arabian prince pressed Jordan to arrange the arrest through Interpol of a Jordanian former business partner with whom he is now involved in a bitter London legal dispute, according to a court claim by the former partner.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Mishal al-Saud lobbied Jordan’s King Abdullah to seek Faisal Almhairat’s extradition from the UK on fraud charges that the businessman denies, it is alleged in court documents.
Mr Almhairat’s claims about Prince Abdulaziz’s behaviour – part of a series of allegations the prince has rejected as false, “scandalous and outrageous” – come amid concerns over whether arrest requests issued by Interpol at the request of national authorities are open to abuse in political and commercial disputes."
