Dubai’s DP World replaces CEO after Epstein links emerge
DP World named Essa Kazim chairman and Yuvraj Narayan CEO after DOJ emails revealed Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem’s long-term ties to Jeffrey Epstein, prompting investment pauses.
- On Friday, DP World announced Essa Kazim as chairman and Yuvraj Narayan as group Chief Executive, replacing Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem without mentioning him.
- The U.S. Department of Justice release showed that Jeffrey Epstein called Sulayem a `close personal friend` and released around 3.5 million documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- Released emails show thousands of messages candidly discussed sex and women, including an Epstein email chain referencing a `torture video` linked to Sultan Bin Sulayem by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- Investors this week paused future investments as firms in the UK and Canada suspended funding, while Quebec's La Caisse, 45 percent stakeholder in DP World Canada, demanded `necessary actions`.
- DP World, which handles about a tenth of global container trade, said Essa Kazim, Governor of DIFC and Chairman of Borse Dubai, and Yuvraj Narayan, long-serving DP World finance and operations leader, support its sustainable growth strategy and strengthen Dubai's trade hub role.
