Thieves swooped twice on the family of Saudi multimillionaire Adnan Khashoggi on holiday on the French Riviera, stealing jewelry, cash and valuables from two villas within a few days, French police said Wednesday.
They said jewels worth 20 million francs ($4.2 million) belonging to Khashoggi's wife Shahpari were stolen last weekend from their rented villa at Villefranche-sur-Mer.The villa showed no signs of forced entry and none of the five employees reported hearing anything unusual.
On Tuesday, cash, a watch and cufflinks worth 130,000 francs ($27,000) disappeared from the villa of Khashoggi's son Hussein in nearby Mougins, police said. The Saudi financier regularly takes holidays on the French Riviera.
