"The boss of the P&O Ferries owner, DP World, has left the company after revelations over his ties with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein forced the ports and logistics company to take action. Dubai-based DP World, which is ultimately owned by the emirate's royal family, announced the immediate resignation of Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem as the group's chair and chief executive on Friday. Sulayem the brother of Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the head of the FIA, which governs the world's motor sport championships including Formula One has been under intense pressure after the publication of messages with Epstein."
"Documents disclosed by the US Department of Justice revealed that Sulayem emailed Epstein in 2015 that he met a girl two years ago who went to an American university in Dubai was the best sex I ever had amazing body. He said: She got engaged but now she back with me. Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, who has inspected unredacted Epstein files, said on Tuesday that the justice department also appeared to confirm that Sulayem was the recipient of an email from Epstein in which he said: I loved the torture video."
"We welcome today's decision by DP World and look forward to continuing our partnership to advance the development of key African trading ports to unlock the continent's global trading potential, a spokesperson said."
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resigned as chair and chief executive of DP World after published messages linked him to Jeffrey Epstein. Dubai-based DP World, owned by the emirate's royal family, named Essa Kazim as chair and Yuvraj Narayan as chief executive. Documents disclosed by the US Department of Justice included emails in which Sulayem described a woman as "the best sex I ever had" and referenced an Epstein message saying "I loved the torture video." Two major partners, Canada's La Caisse and British International Investment, paused future deals; BII later said it would resume investments. Sulayem had transformed DP World into a global logistics company owning ports including six in Canada and the London Gateway container port.
