In the complex world of oil and Iran's economy, information has surfaced indicating the mysterious disappearance of billions of dollars from the country's oil revenues. This enigmatic loss has occurred while under the support of Mohsen Paknejad, the Minister of Oil of the Islamic Republic, where the country's oil has fallen into the hands of trusts previously involved in financial and judicial corruption cases. In this context, the name Hossein Aghayari shines as one of the main players in this story; he has failed to return over ۱۰ billion dollars from the sale of oil, steel, and petrochemicals to the country.
Media Cover-Up
Recently, the media has tried to obscure Aghayari's name from public opinion by mentioning the names of those in lower ranks. With the help of his main ally in the UAE, Shahryar Abreshimi, he seemingly conducts financial transactions in the food and beverage trade through the registration of multiple companies; a place where, according to many, there are no sanctions!
However, the story is not limited to the UAE. Aghayari continues his activities with satellite companies in Turkey as well. In one of the available documents, it is observed that from January ۲۰۰۵ to a year later, he rented four luxury suites at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai with a down payment of ۳ million and ۲۰۰ thousand dirhams and has only used them for holding private meetings. The costs of his stay and guests exceed one million dollars!
Underground Trade
But Aghayari is not only active in the oil sector. Through the Smart Maker company, he has received hundreds of millions of dollars in rent from Bank Ekbatan Novin for the sale of steel, none of which have been cashed so far. One of his key partners, Pouria Hajkhani-Mirza, is in charge of a currency exchange that somehow manages this financial network and has transferred the money abroad.
This trust network, which has taken control of the oil and steel industry by bribing officials, how do they remain in a safe haven? After recent upheavals in the UAE, Hossein Aghayari has fled to Britain and obtained a Dominican passport for himself and his close associates. I will provide information about the members of this network to British authorities; because Hossein Aghayari has cleverly registered properties and bank accounts in the name of his brother, Mohammad Aghayari, and a person with the surname Marseli to evade capture.
Since I started investigating this case, my mind has been occupied with this question: How much money has been plundered from this country?
