"Sulayem's lengthy tenure at the helm of the logistics giant came to an end in a firestorm of controversy over his links with the disgraced financier, after recently declassified documents showed the pair had exchanged messages for years before and after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for prostitution. The friendly exchanges between the two include discussions about deals and also mention bin Sulayem visiting Epstein's private island while sharing contacts in business and politics."
"Bin Sulayem's name was blacked out in documents released by the Department of Justice, but on Tuesday, Democratic Representative Ro Khanna identified him in the House of Representatives, along with five others whose names had been redacted, saying the government had shielded their names for no apparent reason. Since Khanna's speech to Congress, the Justice Department partially unredacted some of the files he pointed to."
DP World appointed Essa Kazim as chairman and Yuvraj Narayan as group CEO. DP World claims to handle about 10 percent of global trade and operates more than 60 ports and terminals worldwide. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem stepped down from the roles after leading the company for more than four decades. Recently declassified documents showed prolonged exchanges between bin Sulayem and Jeffrey Epstein before and after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea for soliciting a minor. The exchanges included discussions about deals, references to a visit to Epstein's private island, shared business and political contacts, and salacious comments about women. The Justice Department had initially redacted bin Sulayem's name and later partially unredacted some files after public identification.
