Corruptions of the Shamkhani Family Under the Protection of the Supreme National Security Council

Corruptions of the Shamkhani Family Supported by the Supreme National Security Council

According to Iran Gate, in the scandal case of Hossein Shamkhani, known as Shamkhani Gate, we come across a name that has been placed on the U.S. Treasury sanctions list: a British-Iraqi businessman named Salim Ahmed Said. He, along with a shadow partner of the Shamkhanis, who we will discuss later, registered a company in Ukraine and, encouraged by him, entered the black hole of sanction evasion in oil sales. Salim Said later became the liaison for PetroChina and was responsible for purchasing Suez, VLCC, and Max tanker ships for the Shamkhani group and partners.

He is currently Hossein Shamkhani’s liaison in England and manages companies and trusts to further plunder the Shamkhani family and partners. Of course, the silence of security agencies and the judiciary in the face of these corruptions is a much bigger scandal for the government and regime. The children of Shamkhani, the Secretary of the Security Council, and their associates are engaged in money laundering and bribery through various means, both movable like valuable artworks and immovable like property and buildings, while security agencies and the judiciary are asleep.
