Security and Judicial Institutions Remained Silent on Jalayer Khalili’s Corruptions, Part 4

Security and judicial institutions remained silent on Jalayer Khalili’s corruptions. According to Iran Gate, corruption and corrupt practices in government organizations are one of the fundamental challenges of our society. Unfortunately, in the Islamic Republic of Iran, there have been many instances of corruption in government organizations, and news related to corruption is published in the media every day. One of the recent cases is the exposés of corruptions that have occurred in the National Iranian Oil Company.

According to the published information, Jalayer Khalili, who is the brother of Reza Khalili, the senior advisor to the CEO of the National Iranian Oil Company, is one of the main figures in the oil and the behind-the-scenes mafia in the Islamic Republic. He is the top figure in the national oil drilling who determines the arrangement of managers, and most Iranian oil companies, especially Marine Petro Asmari and Disbert companies, collaborate under the name of Hura Nikbakht, his wife, and Aryobarzan Nikbakht, his brother-in-law. This family is known for corruption under the names Bagher Khalili and Sultan Mohammad Khalili.

In 2011, by judicial order, all of Jalayer Khalili’s bank accounts were frozen due to corruption cases. However, with the support of Akbar Tabari Hosseini and Elyar Malekshahi, the head of the Legal and Judicial Commission of the Parliament, in 2014, his corruption cases were closed. Therefore, although Jalayer Khalili’s corruption cases were frozen by judicial order, they found no end due to the measures and efforts of some individuals.

Even though Jalayer Khalili’s corruption cases were closed, rumors and accusations against this family continued, and they are still portrayed in some media and social networks as one of the largest financial and economic mafias in the country.

Recently, due to a manifesto published by one of the oil company’s staff, this family has again become the center of media and public attention. In this manifesto, titled ‘Protest of Oil Company Staff to Low Wages and Corruption in the Company,’ Jalayer Khalili’s role in corruption and the low wages of the company’s staff is mentioned as one of the reasons for the staff’s protest.

Given these issues, corruption in some economic sectors of the country remains a serious and important issue for society and officials, requiring more efforts to combat it.

Despite the Iranian government’s commitment to fighting corruption and repeatedly announcing that corruption is one of the country’s major problems, it still exists in many sectors and industries, especially in the oil industry, which is one of the country’s most important industries. Corruption is highly prevalent and has caused very serious damages to the country and its people in many cases.

Considering that Jalayer Khalili is one of the main figures in the oil and behind-the-scenes mafia in the Islamic Republic, it seems he is not just a corrupt individual but has reached his position in the National Oil Organization through collaboration with others.

According to those familiar with the Khalili family, someone like Jalayer Khalili has, over time, become one of the country’s key figures in oil and the economy. He has become one of the most well-known individuals in the field of oil drilling and has managed to establish many connections with government and industrial officials. It seems that someone like Jalayer Khalili, given his position in the National Oil Organization, can easily secure many privileges for himself and indirectly carry out many illegal activities.

Based on available information, the Khalili family’s corruptions in the oil industry are widespread and have caused serious damage to the country in many cases. One of the reasons that documents related to the Khalili family’s corruptions have become available is the activities of individuals like Sahar Mazhari, who, possessing important and verifiable information, decided to disclose them.

According to published documents, Jalayer Khalili has used various companies for money laundering. One of these companies was the Kangan Petrochemical Company, where, according to Sahar Mazhari’s statements, amounts exceeding 20 million dollars were paid by Khalili.

Another highlighted aspect of the Khalili family’s corrupt activities in the oil and energy sector is the alteration of their family details. According to published documents, changes in the Khalili family’s details, including name and surname changes and date of birth, have been made to conceal their corrupt activities.

Considering the Khalili family’s active involvement in the oil and energy sector and their significant influence in the oil industry, the exposure of documents related to their corruptions could have many effects on this industry and ultimately the country’s economy. Therefore, to combat corruption in the oil and energy sector, it is necessary for relevant officials and authorities to conduct thorough investigations in this area.

Currently, more information about Jalayer Khalili’s activities and his family has been obtained. According to reports, this family has benefited from close ties with many prominent officials in the Islamic Republic and has managed to influence their position in the oil industry and the country’s economy using these connections.

With the release of this information, Jalayer Khalili and his family have faced serious accusations and are being investigated as one of the suspects in corruption cases by the country’s judiciary. On the other hand, the Iranian people still expect more details about this family’s corruptions to be revealed and demand transparent and independent investigations from the judicial authorities.

Ultimately, it should be said that the process of exposing corruption in the Islamic Republic continues, and new cases of corruption and misuse by government officials emerge every day. Therefore, it is necessary for the judiciary and the Iranian people to continue striving for transparency and the elimination of corruption in the country’s system and to have access to independent investigations without illegal interactions.

The report states that Jalayer Khalili is one of the main figures in Iran’s petrochemical oil mafia and has been able to commit many corruptions with judicial and security privileges. This individual has collaborated with judges and extortion gangs in the IRGC’s intelligence by receiving bribes, and his name has disappeared in the cases of Behemi oil rigs and corruption cases.

The report continues by stating that Jalayer Khalili, due to paying bribes to judges and extortionists, has had his name in the disappeared Behemi oil rig cases and was the CEO of Desert Breeze Company. After the arrest of Farhad Abdosaleh, he seized this company by forging signatures through Kaveh Reshvand.

The report states that Jalayer Khalili, along with the Valiasr Veterans Cooperative Company, has received many privileges from various institutions. This person has registered new companies under the names Hura Nikbakht and Aryobarzan Nikbakht, his wife and brother-in-law, respectively, and has been involved in money laundering in Dubai. Many documents of these individuals’ corruptions have been published on the Iran Gate website.

The report states that Jalayer Khalili, due to his close relationship with Akbar Tabari, has been able to attract many judges and have his related cases closed with bribes and verdicts in his favor. Ultimately, the report emphasizes the importance of exposing corruptions and illicit privileges.

It highlights the role of corrupt judges involved in Jalayer Khalili’s corruptions. The report announces that documents and evidence of these individuals’ corruptions and privileges will be published on the Iran Gate website. Additionally, documents of corruption and privileges of the Valiasr Veterans Cooperative Company, of which Jalayer Khalili was the CEO, will also be published on the Iran Gate website.

The report also mentions the education and recommendations of representatives for Hura Nikbakht, Jalayer Khalili’s wife, as one of the documents of these individuals’ corruptions. The report states that due to numerous corruptions and illicit privileges, Jalayer Khalili is one of the heads of the dragon of oil and petrochemical corruptions in Iran and registers most of the new companies he creates under his wife and brother-in-law’s names. The report will continue due to the importance of exposing these individuals’ corruptions and illicit privileges.

Since Jalayer Khalili has used corrupt judges, the report states that some cases related to Jalayer Khalili have been closed with bribes and verdicts in his favor. Among these cases is the Lavasan case, where Jalayer Khalili committed corruption to seize it and attracted the court to his side with bribes.

The report states that Jalayer Khalili uses companies with different names to carry out his corruptions. These companies, including Desert Breeze and Marine, use various names, including Mohammad Sultan Khalili and Aryobarzan Nikbakht, to receive oil and currency privileges.

The report states that most of the temporary companies Jalayer Khalili creates are registered under his wife and brother-in-law’s names. For example, the Valiasr Veterans Cooperative Company, of which Jalayer Khalili was the CEO, was registered under his wife’s name. The report announces that Jalayer Khalili has a close relationship with Akbar Tabari, who has played a role in many cases related to Jalayer Khalili.

The report also states that Jalayer Khalili, with judicial and security privileges, has been able to commit many corruptions and registers most of the new companies he creates under his wife and brother-in-law’s names. The report states that during his brother Reza Khalili’s tenure as CEO, he received many projects and damages from the National Drilling Company with court rulings that he had purchased. Additionally, the report announces that Jalayer Khalili has received many privileges from various institutions with the Valiasr Veterans Cooperative Company.

The report announces that Jalayer Khalili, due to paying bribes to judges and the extortion gang in the IRGC’s intelligence Haj Asgari, has had his name disappear in the Behemi oil rig cases and corruption cases. Additionally, Jalayer Khalili illegally purchased an official notary office under the name Hura Nikbakht, and the notary owner, realizing the illegality of this transaction, was forced to transfer it with a bribe.

The report states that Jalayer Khalili is one of the heads of the dragon of oil and petrochemical corruptions in Iran and commits many corruptions with the privileges he receives. Starting tomorrow, more documents of Jalayer Khalili’s corruptions will be published on the Iran Gate website, and it may lead to the exposure of corrupt judges involved in Jalayer Khalili’s corruptions.

The report concludes by stating that Jalayer Khalili is one of the main figures in Iran’s petrochemical oil mafia and efforts should be made to stop these activities due to corruption. Additionally, this report shows that judges involved in Jalayer Khalili’s corruptions have been bribed, and this trend likely continues in other cases. Therefore, efforts should be made to cleanse Iran’s judicial system of this type of corruption and privilege-taking.

Overall, this report shows that corruption and privilege-taking in Iran’s economic system have reached a dangerous level, and for the country’s progress and development, complete follow-up is needed to cleanse it of this type of corruption and privilege-taking.
