DP World Appoints New CEO Amid DOJ Release of Epstein Emails Involving Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem

DP World, the global port operator controlled by the former chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, has appointed a new chairman and group CEO following the release of DOJ documents linking bin Sulayem to Jeffrey Epstein through intimate, yearslong correspondence. The documents, unredacted to include bin Sulayem’s name, detail misogynistic and sexually explicit exchanges, discussions of a potential “torture video,” and Epstein leveraging bin Sulayem to access UK and Israeli political circles. The disclosures prompted at least two institutional investors to暂停 future deals with DP World pending a full review. The company has not issued formal accusations or comments on the matter.
