DP World, a major logistics company based in the United Arab Emirates, has appointed Essa Kazim as chairman and Yuvraj Narayan as group CEO, replacing Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. The change in leadership follows controversy surrounding bin Sulayem's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, revealed in recently declassified documents. The documents showed years of communication between the two, including discussions of business deals, visits to Epstein's island, and salacious comments. Bin Sulayem's name was initially redacted in the documents but was later revealed by a US Representative. DP World, which operates over 60 ports and terminals globally, claims to handle approximately 10 percent of global trade.
