Summary Alwaleed bin Talal is being sued by a Jordanian who claims she owes a $9.9 million commission.

 

LONDON (AP) - A prominent member of the Saudi royal family is defending his handling of the 2005 sale of a jet to the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in a London court.

 

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is being sued by a Jordanian businesswoman who claims she is owed a 6.5 million pound ($9.9 million) commission for helping arrange the sale.

 

Appearing in the High Court on Monday, Alwaleed denied that he had agreed to pay a specific commission to consultant Daad Sharab.

 

She claims the prince, a nephew of King Abdullah, agreed to the commission during a meeting at Gadhafi s tent in Libya.
