Latifa gained international attention in 2018 when a video clip of a human rights group trying to board a flight from Dubai was released. The Special Forces captured the Indian coast and returned to Dubai.

In March 2020, a London High Court judge said he had accepted a series of allegations made by Princess Haya, the ex – wife of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, in a legal battle, particularly that Latif had been ordered to kidnap Sheikh. Sheikh’s lawyers have denied the allegations.
