r/worldnews - A new feature-length documentary set to debut next week on French TV alleges that Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman pressured the Louvre to lie about the authenticity of a painting he had purchased in order to spare him the public humiliation of having spent $450 million on a fake.

The film reportedly features several senior officials from President Emmanuel Macron's government, appearing under pseudonyms, who allege that the crown prince’s offer to lend the painting to the Louvre for the 2019 exhibition had strings attached.
