Khalid bin Hamad Al Thani

Khalid bin Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani (born 4 September 1986) is a member of the ruling Al Thani Qatari royal family and half brother of the ruling emir.
Sheikh Khalid is the first Qatari to drive a Formula One car, and is the owner of Al-Annabi Racing. He is a son of the former emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and his first cousin. In 2009, he invested around $10 million in Al-Anabi Racing in an attempt to promote Qatar's national image in the drag racing scene.
In August 2015, Sheikh Khalid abruptly left the U.S. "after his yellow Ferrari was caught on camera racing through Beverly Hills," Los Angeles. Police were considering charging Sheikh Khalid with reckless driving and other offenses.
In July 2019, a lawsuit was filed against Sheikh Khalid, alleging he attempted to enlist his American security staffer to murder two people and hold another American captive. In the fall of 2017, security guard Matthew Pittard alleges that Sheikh Khalid "solicited" him to murder a man and a woman whom he "viewed as threats to his social reputation and personal security." Sheikh Khalid also allegedly threatened Pittard at gunpoint and said "he would kill him, bury his body in the desert, and kill Pittard's family."
A U.S. federal lawsuit was filed in the state of Massachusetts in 2020 by former staffers of Al Thani accusing him of rape, assault, kidnapping, and murder of rivals. Among the crimes he was accused of was ordering the murder of the owner of the American Drag Racing League as well as beating his wife’s driver to death.
