Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie named the Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem as the individual Jeffrey Epstein had emailed about a “torture video”.
Sulayem is chairman and CEO of DP World, a major global logistics firm based in the UAE. Newsweek has contacted DP World’s media office via email for comment.
The emails were released by the Department of Justice in the Epstein files, but one sender’s name was redacted. Lawmakers have been able to view the unredacted files.
Epstein sent an email on April 24, 2009, that said: “where are you? are you ok , I loved the torture video”
The recipient’s email address and name were redacted.
But Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the recipient was identified in the file EFTA00666117, which names “Sultan Bin Sulayem” while redacting the email address.
The nature of the “torture video” is not known.
They replied a day later to say: “I am in china I will be in the US 2nd week of may”
