New document exposes Qatar’s moves to save Al Thani criminal

A new legal document could help strengthen the case against Qatari Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the young  brother of Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and who is being sued in US federal court for allegedly ordering the murder of two people and for holding an American citizen hostage.

The letter sent from the Castaneda Law Firm and is addressed to Qatar’s Ambassador to the United States Sheikh Meshal Hamad Al Thani, which asks him to confirm whether Qatar’s head of Intelligence, Sheikh Mohammad Al Misned confirmed accusations that its clients – Matthew Pittard and Matthew Allendale – have brought against Sheikh Khalifa, during his alleged meeting with Alan Bender, a Canadian businessman who took a trip to Doha the week of June 17, 2019.

The legal letter reads: “Can you please provide details about the trip that Mr. Alan Bender, a Canadian businessman, took to Doha, Qatar, the week of June 17, 2019? Did Mr. Bender meet with Sheikh Mohammad Al Misned? Did Sheikh Mohammad Al Misned confirm the details that my clients have included in their civil complaints against Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani?”

The letter continues, “What were the topics of this meeting? Who else was present? Were there other Qatari officials present at this meeting? I request to know if Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani was discussed.”

The plaintiffs Allendale and Pittard worked for Khalid as security and a paramedic respectively. The two men, who were previously employed by the junior Al-Thani, reportedly traveled with him to the United States, Qatar, London, “and any location to which Defendant Khalid chose to travel” as part of their employment with him, according to the lawsuit filed on July 23 in a Florida federal court which alleges that Khalid broke California and Florida labor laws “for violations of overtime wage requirements, and notice and record-keeping requirements” among other damages.

Additionally, the suit details that Khalid asked Pittard to murder a male and a female who Khalid viewed as threatening to his social reputation and personal security. Pittard refused to carry out the murders. The suit also alleges that Khalid and his private Qatari security staff held an American citizen hostage on at least two occasions in Khalid’s personal residences in Qatar and had the American citizen arrested and jailed at the Onaiza Police Station in Doha.

The legal document inquires whether Al Misned confirmed to Alan Bender that everything that happened in this case is true, in their alleged June meeting during which Khalid was brought up in conversation.

The letter from the Castaneda Law Firm appears to be an attempt to get the Qatari embassy to confirm that Bender was in Doha. If true, and Bender decides to testify or provide an affidavit to this effect, it will dually confirm that the Qatari government knows that what happened to Allendale and Pittard is true.

The lawyer has verified that the document is authentic.
