Report: Blackwater Owner Considering Move to UAE

HeadlineJun 16, 2010

The Nation magazine is reporting Blackwater owner Erik Prince could be planning a move to the United Arab Emirates. According to independent journalist Jeremy Scahill, three “sources close to Blackwater and Prince” say Prince is planning a move to the UAE amidst growing legal troubles for his private military firm. Five of Prince’s deputies were indicted on weapons charges in April, and just last week Prince announced he is putting Blackwater up for sale. The UAE has no extradition treaty with the United States. A Blackwater spokesperson refused to confirm or deny whether Prince is planning a move abroad.
