Jeffrey Epstein Prince William Politics

Prince William's Earthshot Prize charity has been reported to the UK's watchdog after receiving donations from an Emirati billionaire named in the Epstein files (Image: PA Wires)
It has emerged that Emirati billionaire Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the chairman and chief executive of DP World, has been implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
In April 2009, while he was still serving his 18-month sentence in a Palm Beach jail but allowed work release, Epstein emailed Sulayem: "Where are you? are you ok , I loved the torture video."
DP World is a "founding partner" of Earthshot and has donated at least £1 million to the charity.

"It is not credible to believe the Foreign Office, security services or other advisors were not aware of Sulayem's character and would have been able to advise accordingly.

I think the problem is more at the stage of "DP World owns the Southampton and London Gateway container terminals"

(704 posts)8. Yeah. I want them to fall where they may.
I just feel a little bad because this is more about his advisors than him, but he'll pay the price.

rather than "DP World gave money to a charity", whether or not it's a royal-run charity.
