Canada's second-largest pension fund, La Caisse, announced on Tuesday, February 11, 2026, that it will suspend future investments with Dubai-based DP World. The decision stems from revelations of ties between DP World's chief executive, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, and the late Jeffrey Epstein. La Caisse expects DP World to clarify bin Sulayem's relationship with Epstein and take appropriate action. The announcement follows the release of US Justice Department files revealing communications between bin Sulayem and Epstein. While La Caisse is not invested directly in DP World, they are partners in port projects globally. Democratic lawmaker Ro Khanna identified bin Sulayem as one of the men whose identities had been redacted from the Epstein files.
