Canada’s second-largest pension fund, La Caisse, has stopped future investments with UAE-based DP World. This move comes after reports revealed connections between DP World's chief executive, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. La Caisse said on Tuesday that it will not invest further alongside DP World until the company explains the CEO's links to Epstein and takes "necessary actions." A spokesperson for La Caisse clarified, "To be clear, we are not invested in DP World. It is a partner of ours in port projects around the world, but we are not shareholders of the parent company." They added, "We expect the company to shed light on the situation and take the necessary actions." These links surfaced following a release of millions of files by the US Justice Department. The documents included communications between bin Sulayem and Epstein, discussing the Emirati businessman’s relations with women and his plans to visit Epstein’s home. On Tuesday, US Democratic lawmaker Ro Khanna identified bin Sulayem among six men previously unnamed in the Epstein files during a speech in the US House of Representatives. However, Khanna did not accuse bin Sulayem of any criminal activity. DP World, based in Dubai, runs over 60 ports worldwide and partners with La Caisse through a joint venture in Canada. DP World in Canada recently announced plans to build a new container terminal at the Port of Montreal. La Caisse manages assets worth 473.3 billion Canadian dollars (about $350 billion). It invested $2.5 billion in 2022 in major DP World assets in the UAE, including Jebel Ali Port. Neither DP World nor Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem responded immediately to requests for comment.
