| A member of the Qatar royal family has been arrested in the Czech Republic and charged with sexually abusing underage girls. The 44-year-old man was arrested Tuesday at his apartment in Prague, said police spokeswoman Daniela Razimova. She refused to identify him, but Qatar's embassy in Bonn confirmed the suspect is Hamid Sani, a member of the Gulf emirate's royal family. Czech media reported that Sani has lived in Prague for 10 years. Qatar has no diplomats in the Czech capital. Two women from Prague, aged 19 and 20, were arrested for allegedly delivering the girls aged, 12 to 15, to the man, Razimova said. The girls allegedly were paid €59 for offering sex to the man, she said. All three suspects were charged with sexually abusing children, Razimova said. A police investigation began early this year and is continuing, she said. |
