A Houston businessman who structured multimillion-dollar deals with a member of the United Arab Emirates royal family alleges he was tortured by overseas jailers at the behest of that business partner.

Bassam Nabulsi and his wife, Rima, detail the alleged abuse in a federal lawsuit filed in Houston against Sheikh Issa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a son of the late United Arab Emirates president.

In court papers, Nabulsi says he was abused and threatened with harm to his family if he didn't turn over videos showing Issa torturing others.

"Sheikh Issa came to enjoy torturing people who he perceived had slighted him. He also took pleasure in videotaping the torture sessions, so he could watch the sessions at a later date," the lawsuit claims.
