Epstein told Emirati billionaire he ‘loved the torture video’ and shared sex messages, unredacted files reveal
Paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein told an Emirati billionaire he “loved the torture video”, in a disturbing email exchange in the Epstein files.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem has been named as one of the “six wealthy, powerful men” whose identities had previously been redacted in the documents.
Epstein and Sulayem, CEO of international logistics firm DP World, appeared to have corresponded by email and texts for years according to the files, discussing sex and sharing links to fetish sites.
In an April 2009 email to Sulayem, Epstein wrote: “where are you? are you ok , I loved the torture video.”
The recipient replied: “I am in china I will be in the US 2nd week of may”.
In texts from 2007, bin Sulayem emailed Epstein about his attempts to meet a supermodel.
According to a separate cache of emails obtained by Bloomberg, he wrote: “After several attemps [sic] for several months we managed to meet in NY. there is a missunderstanding [sic] she she wanted some BUSINESS! while i only wanted some P****NESS!”
In 2015 Sulayem had suggested visiting the financier with his family and sent him links to fetish porn websites, according to the files.
He also emailed Epstein about his sexual experiences, with the paedophile sending Sulayem a link to an escort website in 2017.
The same year, Sulayem shared a copy of a passport belonging to a “personal masseuse” at Epstein’s “private spa”, asking for help in finding her work as a trainee at the Rixos hotel in Antalya, Turkey.
Images of the two billionaires together were also published in the files without context or dates, including one of them cooking in a kitchen.
Sulayem is a real estate developer from Dubai with an estimated net worth of up to $8 billion. He has been CEO of DP World since 2016.
The firm is based in the UAE and works across cargo logistics, ports and maritime services. They claim to move 10 per cent of global trade daily.
DP World employs 5,500 people in the United Kingdom, according to its website, and works across ports and freight rail terminals at London Gateway and Southhampton.
