Eleven people have been detained in connection with an ambush of a Saudi prince's diplomatic convoy in Paris last year, the Paris prosecutor's office told AP on Monday.
Spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre confirmed the arrest but declined to provide more details.
Armed robbers in August ambushed the Mercedes vehicle while the convoy was on its way to the airport, torching and abandoning the car later. Inside were 250,000 euros ($280,000) and embassy documents. Officials said the robbers seemed well informed of the itinerary.
No officials have named the prince, AP said.
