Qatari sheikh buys UK oil firm in violation of Vienna Convention – report

‘Former prime minister of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, bought an oil company while enjoying diplomatic immunity guaranteed by the Vienna Convention. This prohibits diplomats from profiting from “commercial activity.”

The sheikh acquired 80 percent of Heritage Oil, a London-listed exploration and production company in April 2014. An article published in the Telegraph on Wednesday says this was an abrogation of the sheikh’s diplomatic responsibilities.

In addition to serving as prime minister, Sheikh Hamad, one of Qatar’s richest men, was also chief of the country’s sovereign wealth fund. He stepped down from his government posts, when Qatar’s former emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani abdicated the throne in 2013.’
