In 2018, Der Spiegel reported on leaked emails between Jorge Chumillas and Simon Pearce, two executives at a company in this city, revealing last-minute changes to its contracts with Aabar Investments and a certain airline. In late 2022, a business in this city prematurely ended a five-year sponsorship deal with the conferencing company TeamViewer. Qatari banker (*) Sheikh Jassim’s bids for that business in this city are often supported by protestors unhappy (10[1])with Joel and Avram Glazer.
