DUBAI PRINCESS URGES UK TO INVESTIGATE SISTER’S ABDUCTION

Princess Latifa, the captive daughter of Dubai’s ruler, has appealed to UK police to re-investigate the kidnap of her older sister from a Cambridge street more than 20 years ago.

Latifa told Cambridgeshire police this could help free Princess Shamsa, who was captured on the orders of their father.

Shamsa, who was just 18 then and is now 39, has not been seen in public since.

A High Court judge ruled in 2019, that Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum who is one of the richest heads of state in the world, the ruler of Dubai and vice-president of the UAE, had abducted both daughters and held them against their will.
