FROM GLOBAL TRADE TITAN TO EMBATTLED OUTCAST
For decades, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was the towering figure behind DP World, the Dubai‑based logistics titan that handles cargo at ports from Jebel Ali to Europe. But that reign came crashing down this week when newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice exposed thousands of emails between him and Epstein — including shocking personal exchanges and descriptions of intimate encounters.

International pressure mounted instantly: major investors froze deals, partners expressed alarm, and corporate allies demanded accountability. In response, DP World’s leadership pulled the plug — replacing bin Sulayem with a new chairman and CEO in a dramatic shakeup designed to salvage the company’s global standing.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE PORT GIANT?
The new leadership now faces the Herculean task of steering the logistics powerhouse through a scandal that has not only tarnished its image but could reverberate across the worldwide supply chain — potentially reshaping alliances from Dubai to London and beyond.
