Optimism of Khoshbinfar with Corruption at Amir Kabir
Saeed Aghanji, editor-in-chief of Iran Gate News Agency and investigative journalist in the field of corruption, has addressed a major corruption case in Amir Kabir Petrochemical. A case that is nothing but an injustice to the honorable and hardworking workers of the petrochemical industry. The 17 million euro corruption in the purchase of catalysts at Amir Kabir Petrochemical, facilitated by Hesam Khoshbinfar, chairman of the board, and Ali Hayati, the CEO, has taken place under the silence and ignorance of supervisory bodies.
According to available documents, Amir Kabir Petrochemical has taken action to purchase the CLARINET OLEMAX252 CATALYST and chemicals with request number APS0540001. With tender engineering limited by Ali Hayati, it is intended that this catalyst, which was previously purchased at Amir Kabir Petrochemical for 588 thousand euros, is now exaggerated in price to over 17 million euros, with Hesam Khoshbinfar receiving a 3 million euro commission and Ali Hayati’s share being 5 million euros.
This order was approved by the Transactions Commission on date 140537 amidst the silence of war news. This purchase proposal was raised and approved in the 690th board meeting on June 10, 1405. The purchase approval with number 3930 dated 1405316 was announced to the benefit of Petro Poushesh Ariana ICAT for the amount of 16 million euros and 322 thousand euros. Ali Hayati was in a hurry to receive his commission, and it was decided that 70% of this amount would be received as an advance payment solely by check and without a bank guarantee. Business continues during wartime, and a purchase that could have been done for 2 million euros even considering inflation rates in Europe now has an invoice of 17 million euros issued to preserve the share of the corrupt.
