Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) confirmed as sovereign wealth fund via GLEIF LEI 5493008JZL5CRK3VS565. Category: RESIDENT_GOVERNMENT_ENTITY, subcategory: STATE_GOVERNMENT. Legal form: Sovereign Wealth Fund. Jurisdiction: Qatar. Address: Ooredoo Tower (Building 14), Dafna Street, Al Dafna District, Doha. Created 2005-01-01. Active status. QIA has at least one direct subsidiary: Jade Holding LLC (LEI 2549004U6K21MGN3L374, Doha, registered as #03986). Epstein's own statement (Finding #1060, Jul 20 2017 email to Landon Thomas Jr): 'qatar is the biggest shareholder in DB. db is donalds funder. donald goes after qatar for terrorism against the advice of tillerson and state ie DB?' The Qatar shareholding in Deutsche Bank (~6% as of 2017) is widely documented in DB 20-F annual reports filed with SEC. However, our SEC EDGAR full-text search for 'Qatar Investment Authority Deutsche Bank' and 'Qatar Holdings Deutsche' returned zero hits in the filing text index, meaning the Qatar shareholding must be verified through the DB annual reports (filed as 20-F under CIK 1159508) rather than text search.
