Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, who had led the Dubai-based DP World for decades, is facing intense scrutiny after the release of Epstein-related documents that revealed correspondence between the two men, including lewd exchanges. Without naming bin Sulayem, Dubai’s Government Media Office announced that DP World had appointed a new chairman and group CEO, positions previously held by bin Sulayem. DP World confirmed the new appointments to CNN. The company declined to comment on bin Sulayem’s relationship with Epstein when contacted by CNN before his removal.
