DP World Group announced on Friday the removal of Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem from its chairmanship, while appointing a new chairman and CEO to succeed him. This move follows the involvement of Bin Sulayem, one of the most prominent Emirati businessmen, in the scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem had served as the chairman of DP World since its establishment in 2005. He was removed following his involvement in the high-profile sex scandals associated with Epstein, the American businessman whom Bin Sulayem had previously described as one of his “most trustworthy” friends. This is according to documents recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice, in which the Emirati official’s name appears more than 9,400 times.
The two men maintained regular correspondence from 2009 to 2018, during which they exchanged messages regarding personal matters, meetings, introductions, and business opportunities.
The scandals involving Emirati figures continued as authorities recently announced a sudden restructuring of the Human Rights Board of Trustees. This included the dismissal of Hind Al Owais from her position after her name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein documents, which have sparked widespread controversy in international human rights and political circles.
