Investment Suspended in DP World Following New Jeffrey Epstein Documents
The UK’s Financial Development Authority and Canada’s second-largest pension fund have announced the suspension of their new investments in DP World, the Dubai-based company. This decision follows the release of newly disclosed documents by the U.S. Department of Justice linking Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World, to Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the published documents, the relationship between Epstein and bin Sulayem persisted for more than a decade after Epstein’s conviction in 2008. These documents include emails and text messages referencing business matters and arrangements of meetings.
DP World ranks among the largest logistics companies worldwide, managing about 10 percent of global trade. Bin Sulayem has played a central role in expanding the company’s operations over recent years and is regarded as a prominent business figure in Dubai.
In addition to leading DP World, he also chairs the Dubai International Chamber of Commerce and the city’s Ports, Customs, and Free Zone Corporation. The suspension of new investments could impact the company’s credibility and international business relations.
The U.S. Department of Justice has released millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender. The documents include the names of several high-profile figures from politics, finance, education, and commerce, including Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates.
