💢 ITV News reports that UAE-funded mercenary Abraham Golan ran a covert surveillance operation in London in 2016 targeting British academic Anas Altikriti, head of the Cordoba Foundation, which the UAE had designated a terrorist organization over alleged Muslim Brotherhood links that Cordoba denies. 🔹Golan, an Israeli-Hungarian former French Foreign Legion soldier, had previously led assassination operations in Yemen for the UAE through his firm, Spear Operations Group. 🔹ITV says confidential Emirati records show Golan remained on the UAE payroll during the London operation, receiving a six-figure retainer and large bonuses, while messages show him describing the mission as work for the UAE. 🔹He and a former U.S. Navy SEAL allegedly tracked Altikriti’s home, car and movements and discussed potentially killing him. 🔹A British consultant said Golan offered him up to £100,000 to help lure Altikriti to a meeting, but withdrew after fearing an assassination plot. Police later warned Altikriti his life could be at risk. ITV says it could not establish which Emirati officials specifically ordered or authorized the operation.
