The UK has initiated investigations into the proposed acquisition of the Telegraph by a vehicle backed by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The probe was prompted by concerns about the potential compromise of the newspaper's independence. Barclays, with the help of Abu Dhabi, has regained control of the Telegraph after repaying debt. Investigators are demanding access to Abu Dhabi's WhatsApps in the probe.
