Exclusive: Phone tracking spyware likely used to capture Dubai princess, claims former aid

Former French Naval officer Hervé Jaubert, who planned and executed Dubai’s princess Latifa’s failed escape plan three years ago, has said that a geo-location malware in a phone on his yacht most likely revealed their location and led to her capture.

The story of the failed escape of princess Latifa, the daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, has seen many twists and turns but the mystery behind the recapturing of the runaway princess thousands of miles away from the UAE remains.

Hervé Jaubert planned Latifa’s escape for years and was responsible for its execution three years ago. Speaking exclusively to India Today TV, Jaubert has said that it was highly unlikely that there was any other way to track Latifa, who was hiding in his yacht, this far from the UAE jurisdiction on the eighth day of their escape.
