Tawfiq Tajgardoon and Success in Corruption Operations
Saeed Aghanji, editor-in-chief of the Iran Gate News Agency and an investigative journalist in the field of corruption, has continued to examine the Tajgardoon network case, uncovering new dimensions as detailed below.
The economic network that Tajgardoon has formed in the country is like a complex and labyrinthine mafia group, but their key figures are behind the scenes. The closest person to him is Hassan Tawfiqi, who facilitates the overseas routes for Tajgardoon. Tawfiqi, through Ali Amini, his second wife’s brother who is responsible for executing money laundering operations in the UAE and the UK, manages the main operations.
Tajgardoon intends to, in just one instance and as a reward, allocate 1,000 hectares of land in Gachsaran through favoritism to Hassan Tawfiqi. On the other hand, Reza Tawfiqi, the son of Omid Tawfiqi, manages the network and companies based in Europe in Germany. Amir Reza Tajgardoon, the son of Gholam Tajgardoon, along with Omid Zarepour, holds an insurance brokerage network and secures insurance for major petrochemicals through his father’s recommendations and, if necessary, pressure. Tajgardoon, being shrewd and leaving no trace, conducts transactions tainted with favoritism and domestic corruption through his sister and has also registered his assets in Turkey under the name of his second wife, Goudarzi, and her daughter. This network has corrupted many managers and oversight and inspection institutions, and we will expose each individual associated with this network and identify and introduce their assets and relatives abroad.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in brokerage fees that Hassan Tawfiqi has received under the false pretense of closeness to the Leader’s circle, and also by claiming proximity to oversight and security officials, facilitates the paths for receiving bribes and kickbacks. Hundreds of millions of dollars of people’s money are trapped in a network that threatens the country’s economic security. The country, in a critical situation, needs billions of dollars from its oil revenues, but the oil sales mafia pockets these amounts and converts them into properties and assets abroad. If domestic oversight institutions do not act quickly to reclaim the people’s money, I will expose their foreign assets. This case remains open.
