A FORMER top cop has revealed he still has no idea why he was blocked from probing the kidnap of a Dubai princess 20 years ago.
In an exclusive interview, retired Detective Chief Inspector David Beck – who led the team investigating the abduction of Princess Shamsa – said Britain had lost its “moral compass” over the unsolved mystery.
He even likened the scandal to the nerve agent poisoning of Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury and the murder of writer Jamal Khashoggi.
Shamsa, sister of missing Princess Latifa, is said to have been snatched from a street in Cambridge in 2000, allegedly on the orders of their father, Sheikh Mohammed Al-Maktoum, 71.
