Dubai tycoon exchanged sexually explict emails with Jeffrey Epstein for years, records show
A high-ranking Dubai business executive engaged in explicit conversations with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, sharing graphic details about his sexual encounters with women.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the chairman and CEO of DP World, boasted in a message from September 2015 about a sexual encounter with a foreign exchange student, stating, “She got engaged but now she’s back with me… The best sex I ever had, amazing body.”
The released Justice Department records revealed that the correspondence between Epstein and bin Sulayem included sexual references, nude images, and discussions about various encounters.
Bin Sulayem and Epstein continued exchanging messages for over a decade following Epstein’s 2008 conviction and imprisonment for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
In several emails, bin Sulayem discussed visiting Little St. James, Epstein’s private Caribbean island, which federal prosecutors alleged was used for sex trafficking.
Images obtained by federal investigators depicted bin Sulayem on the island, according to a report by Bloomberg News.
Bin Sulayem was also involved in Epstein’s acquisition of both Caribbean islands.
When Epstein was prevented from purchasing Great St. James due to his 2008 conviction, a company registered in the Virgin Islands with bin Sulayem listed as its beneficial owner bought the island in 2016, as per documents cited by Bloomberg News.
Subsequent emails indicated that bin Sulayem was aware of Epstein’s ownership of both Great St. James and nearby Little St. James, and he even supported Epstein’s plans to develop the properties into a private resort for his clientele and friends.
Bin Sulayem, known for his role in developing Dubai into a global trade and logistics center, holds significant influence as a key figure in the United Arab Emirates, as highlighted by Bloomberg.
Coming from a prominent Emirati family with strong ties to Dubai’s ruling elite, he climbed the ranks to become the chairman and CEO of DP World, a major port operator worldwide.
He amassed his wealth and power through state-backed initiatives, overseeing key components of Dubai’s economy such as the Jebel Ali Port, Dubai World, and Nakheel, a leading property developer responsible for projects like the Palm Islands.
His business empire encompasses ports, logistics, real estate, hotels, and global investments.
The Post has reached out to DP World for comment, while bin Sulayem did not respond to Bloomberg’s inquiries.
These revelations emerge as the Department of Justice unveils millions of pages of previously undisclosed documents related to Epstein, shedding light on his ongoing connections with influential figures in business, politics, and finance long after his conviction in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
