WORLD BRIEFING
Italian police said they were hunting for burglars who stole $15.5 million in cash and jewelry from the hotel room of a Saudi princess.
Police said the princess was not in her room at the Colonna Pevero Hotel in Porto Cervo, a glitzy resort on the island of Sardinia, when the robbers struck last week. The thieves used a master key to gain access, then ripped out the wall safe.
Officials did not publicly identify the princess.
The area is a magnet for luxury yachts and is dotted with villas owned by the rich and powerful, including Italy’s prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi.
