LONDON – Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier, found himself standing next to one of the most powerful businessmen in the UAE, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. Their eyes were fixed on something extraordinary; it was cloth unlike anything they had seen before. Newly released files revealed startling image of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein standing next to Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, top Emirati businessman, while apparently inspecting a piece of cloth resembling the Kiswa. the sacred covering of Islam’s holiest site in Mecca. Both men are casually standing at the bottom of staircase with their hands in their pockets, gazing down at the religious artifact. The picture, sent via email to Epstein in May 2014, comes with a crude joke, though it is unclear if it relates to the sacred cloth. Saudi authorities have yet to comment, and a private news outlet has questioned the cloth’s authenticity, citing irregularities in size, material, and design. Other emails in Epstein’s files show that fragments of the Kiswa were later shipped to his Florida home through intermediaries in 2017, years after his jail sentence and registration as a sex offender. UAE-based businesswoman Aziza al-Ahmadi reportedly coordinated the delivery, emphasizing that millions of Muslims had touched the cloth during the Hajj pilgrimage, leaving prayers and hopes on it. The documents reveal disturbing details about Epstein’s relationship with Ahmed bin Sulayem, including emails discussing sexual encounters with women in degrading terms and even a joke about Muslim worshippers. Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO and chair of DP World, is one of the UAE’s most influential figures, overseeing global port and infrastructure operations, a stark contrast to his shocking connections with Epstein.
