The warrant, which was issued in December, comes at a sensitive time in French-Saudi relations.

Prince Mohammed is expected in Paris at the start of April, although the date has already been pushed back several times in part due to his first visits to Britain and the United States.

Macron's office and the Saudi Embassy in Paris did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
