A prominent business leader from the United Arab Emirates has resigned from his leadership role at a major global corporation. This follows the publication of court documents that detail a years-long personal correspondence with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The documents, released by U.S. authorities, include email exchanges containing links to explicit material. In one notable message from 2009, Epstein wrote to the executive, stating, “I loved the torture video.” U.S. lawmakers have publicly identified the recipient of that email as the now-former executive.
Records also indicate the executive was a visitor to Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean, a location central to the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s activities. Furthermore, it was revealed that Epstein allegedly used the executive’s identity to facilitate a property purchase in the Caribbean without the executive’s knowledge, according to previous reports.
The executive’s resignation brings renewed scrutiny to his philanthropic affiliations, including a major environmental award founded in 2020. The award had received significant financial support from the company he led. An organization critical of the monarchy has since filed a formal complaint with the relevant regulatory body, calling for an investigation into the due diligence conducted regarding the award’s funding sources.
This development occurs in the broader context of ongoing fallout from the Epstein case, which has previously ensnared other high-profile figures in the United Kingdom.
