Khaldoon Al Mubarak has held UK diplomatic immunity since 2020, potentially complicating any legal action arising from the Premier League case. The status protects him from criminal prosecution in the UK and, in most circumstances, civil proceedings. The FT stresses there is no suggestion of personal wrongdoing by Al Mubarak. The Manchester City case now potentially reaches far beyond football. The Commission’s findings could strain UK-UAE relations, with Khaldoon Al Mubarak overseeing a sovereign investment partnership that has generated £30BN in UAE investment commitments into Britain. Lawyers say Khaldoon Al Mubarak’s diplomatic immunity could significantly complicate any attempt to pursue him personally through UK courts following the Manchester City case.   submitted by   /u/zsynqx [link]   [comments]
