Vodafone deepens ties with Dubai amid national security concerns over Three deal

The Telegraph  

The chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state-owned telecoms company is to join Vodafone’s board in a move that will deepen national security concerns about one of Britain’s critical infrastructure providers. As part of the deal, Etisalat chief executive, Hatem Dowidar, will be granted a seat on Vodafone’s board. If the Abu Dhabi-based firm increases its holding above 20pc, it will be able to nominate a second non-executive director to the British telecoms giant’s board. The UK High Court ruled in 2021 that Dubai leader, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, had hacked into the phones of his ex-wife Princess Haya bint al-Hussein as well as her legal advisers and staff during a row over custody of their two children.
