Ahmed Dalmook is a relatively peripheral family member, as the ruler’s second cousin. The latest deal that involves Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook is the purchase of 3.4 million doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccines. The report cites Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook as an alleged hoarder of Sputnik vaccines who sells to the highest bidder in collusion with one Morten Hansen, who is a Norwegian national. “Boxes containing a total of 16,000 doses of the Russian Sputnik V are unloaded from the plane and placed in front of the Minister of Health. In a press statement, the MoH says it will "issue a release to address its processes" of procuring the Russian vaccines.
