On a yacht in the Indian Ocean, heavily armed commandos seized the princess. "Shoot me here! Don't take me back!" Princess Latifa – whose full name is Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum – screamed during the raid in March 2018 as the armed men bound her wrists. They had been sent by her father, the billionaire prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and authoritarian ruler of the Emirate of Dubai. Despite her pleas, confirmed by two eyewitnesses who traveled with her aboard the U.S.-flagged yacht Nostromo, the princess was dragged off the vessel and returned to Dubai and her father's rule. How Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum found his daughter has been a mystery for more than three years – until now. A USA TODAY investigation established that the FBI, responding to an urgent plea from the powerful Dubai leader's office, provided assistance essential to her capture. The FBI obtained and provided data about the yacht's location to the Dubai government after officials there claimed the princess had been kidnapped and needed emergency aid to secure her release, according to multiple people familiar with the FBI's role in the highly sensitive operation. |
FBI handed over location data, without a warrant, to the authoritarian leader of the UAE which was used to lead commandos to board the American yacht and forcibly remove the daughter.

Without the FBI's assistance, Princess Latifa might never have been found during her escape. |
Another refugee princess was kidnapped from Britain and hasn't been seen in over 20 years.

British police suspect Shamsa, Latifa's older sister from another marriage, was drugged and smuggled back to Dubai by men working for her father. Shamsa has not been seen in public for almost 21 years. |
