According to the investigation, Rayzone rented access to an arcane global messaging system in the Channel Islands that allowed them to “geolocate” mobile phone users across the world. The report also claims that this point in the Channel Islands was also used in efforts to locate Princess Sheikha Latifa al-Maktoum bint Mohammed Al Maktoum when she attempted to escape her father, Dubai s ruler, in 2018.
