Sons of...Zayid

"An American whipped by the brother of the United Arab Emirates’ ruler in a Swiss hotel bar will go to court to challenge the quashing of his attacker’s criminal conviction, his lawyer said Monday, April 6. Sheik Falah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, 38, was convicted in July last year for hitting Silvano Orsi, 40, of Rochester, New York, with a belt after the American declined a bottle of champagne the sheik offered him. He was fined $9,820...Orsi claims that after refusing the champagne, the sheik, whom he had never met, came up behind him, jostled his glasses, sat on his lap and tried to kiss and fondle him. When Orsi protested, the assault began, he says." (thanks Saeed)
