Lawyers representing the State of Qatar in a federal lawsuit just exposed their Royal Family’s links to a US spy ring in a desperate bid to shield communications with their cutouts from discovery in open court, Grant Stern wrote on "The Stern Facts".
According to the article, the Gulf nation of Qatar is fighting lawsuits by a high-level Trump supporter who accuses them of state-sponsored hacking and the Big 3 Basketball League who accuses their unregistered agents of involving them in a political influence operation.
A source in New York with knowledge of the lawsuits believes that public release of these records could expose key details related to Qatari Royals’ role in the Trump Russia dossier.
A pair of recent court filings in two federal courts just linked both of Qatar’s known spy rings — in New York and Los Angeles — together under the direction of a high ranking member of the Royal Family, the Emir’s younger brother, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Thani who’s known as “MBH.”
MBH ran Qatar’s corrupt bid to win host duties for the 2022 World Cup that ultimately led a the massive FIFA corruption scandal that ousted the world soccer governing body’s top executive and board members. Former MI-6 officer Christopher Steele contributed key information to the FBI’s investigation of soccer corruption.
Currently, MBH sits atop the peninsula’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy which is in charge of extensive infrastructure spending by Qatar to accommodate the World Cup. It’s the same Committee in charge of the stadium building projects that employ what the Guardian calls “modern day slavery” and cost 1,200 workers their lives in a seven year period.
The Big3 League’s latest lawsuit against a corrupt former employeee accuses MBH of operating as the paymaster for the Qatari spies.
Qatari agents Ahmed Al Rumaihi and his Miami-based partner Ayman Sabi tried to use one of the league co-owner’s past business relations with Steve Bannon to obtain access to the former White House senior advisor.
But the basketball league says it has learned that the reason Al-Rumaihi failed to complete Qatar’s investment payments is because MBH decided that it was an ineffective spying operation.
