FBI arrests Saudi prince's wife in maids case
2005-04-01
BOSTON: FBI agents on Wednesday arrested a Saudi prince's wife on charges she forced two Indonesian women to work for her as servants and threatened them with "serious harm" if they refused, prosecutors said. Hana Al Jader, 39, was arrested on federal charges at her home in the upscale Boston suburb of Winchester, Massachusetts. A US magistrate judge ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on Friday afternoon. Al Jader was charged in a 10-count indictment with forced labour, domestic servitude, falsifying records, visa fraud and harboring aliens in connection with two Indonesian servants identified only as "Tri" and "Ro." If convicted on all charges, Al Jader would face up to 140 years in jail and up to $2.5 million in fines. Al Jader's lawyer, James Merberg, confirmed that his client was married to Prince Mohamed Bin Turki Alsaud but would not say whether she might have diplomatic immunity from criminal prosecution.

#4  I thought this was legal in Boston? I heard that Therayza often beats her staff just for the fun of it and that Ted Kennedy (or any other Kennedy) feel free to beat, rape, and kill people with impunity to the law. I can see how the princes wife would be confused about the law.

#1  Oops! If she doesn't have Diplomunity she be in deep shit, lol! We don't give diplo status to all the phreakin' "Princes" and their families - there's just too damned many of the little shits.

I hope this starts a row. Time to "Kick the tires and light the fires, Big Daddy!" Let's get the ball rollin' - and some typical Saudi arrogance is as good a place to start as any. Publicize it. Show what they're really like. Of course the dinkwads in Deep Blue Boston won't get it, but almost everyone else will.
