Sheikh Sultan bin Suhaim al-Thani

The palace of Sheikh Sultan bin Suhaim al-Thani in Doha was stormed by a unit of 15 armed men in a raid carried out the State Security Forces last Thursday evening, Sky News Arabia reported.

The raid resulted in the confiscation of around 137 bags and a number of iron boxes containing the documents and holdings of Sheikh Sultan, as well as the large holdings and archives of his father, former Foreign Minister Suhaim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The confiscated items constitute "a wealth of information and political value," said the TV channel.

The state security agents also stormed the private room of Sheikh Mina al-Dosari, the widow of Sheikh Suhaim and the mother of Sheikh Sultan, and confiscated all her personal and family pictures, as well as all her jewelry, valuables and money.

Earlier, Sky News reported that Qatari authorities froze all accounts of Sheikh Sultan and seized his seals, sukuks and commercial contracts, posing a risk of falsifying and damaging them at all levels.
