A$AP Rocky trial to get underway in Sweden

American rapper A$AP Rocky and two other men believed to be members of his entourage went on trial Tuesday in Sweden in a high-profile legal case that has caught the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump and celebrities.

The trial of the recording artist, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, started in Stockholm District Court, which also has set aside Thursday and Friday for the case. The trial was being held in a secure courtroom"because of strong interest from the media and the public," the Stockholm court said, noting that no photographing or filming will take place during the proceedings.

A lawyer for Jafari, Magnus Stromberg, told The Associated Press on Friday the beating started when one of A$AP Rocky's guards"grabbed him by the neck and dragged him away" and that Jafari didn't provoke the assault. Mayers' arrest prompted Trump to intervene on behalf of the jailed rapper and sparked an unusual diplomatic spat when Swedish prosecutors charged the 30-year-old artist last week.
