Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, the chief executive of Dubai-based DP World, has resigned over his involvement with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The emails between Bin Sulayem and Epstein show the two men exchanged intimate messages, contacts in business and politics, and attempted to broker deals for one another. Neither Bin Sulayem nor representatives for DP World previously responded to repeated requests for comment over the email exchanges. Following Bin Sulayem’s resignation, the company named Yuvraj Narayan as the new chief executive officer and Essa Kazim as chairman. In a previous high-profile role, bin Sulayem headed real estate developer Nakheel PJSC, the builder of Dubai’s famed palm-shaped islands.
