The Corrupt Khalili Family in Oil and Petrochemicals Part One

The Corrupt Khalili Family in Oil and Petrochemicals According to Iran Gate, Jalayer Khalili is one of the main figures in the oil mafia and behind organized corruption in the Islamic Republic. He is the brother of Reza Khalili, senior advisor to the CEO of the National Iranian Oil Company. Jalayer Khalili is the top figure in National Oil Drilling who determines the arrangement of managers. Most of the companies are Marine Petro, and the name of this family is under Hura Nikbakht, his wife. The corruption of this family is carried out under the names of Baqer Khalili and Sultan Mohammad Khalili. In 2011, by judicial order, all bank accounts of Jalayer Khalili were frozen due to corruption cases.

However, with the support of Akbar Tabari, known as Hosseini, and the support of Aliyar Malekshahi, the head of the Legal and Judicial Commission of Parliament, his corruption cases were closed in 2014. A vast amount of documents, from changes in family details to property and domestic assets, have been obtained by Iran Gate, which will expose the involvement of many country officials in the corruption, one of whom is Javad Larijani.

Jalayer Khalili’s organized money laundering is carried out by various individuals in Dubai, Iran, and Europe. One of them has been Sahar Mazhari, who is currently abroad. A special report on the Iran Gate website will publish documents of this family’s corruption and Islamic Republic officials connected to Jalayer Khalili starting tomorrow. Additionally, documents of their dirham and euro accounts and actions taken under the name of his daughter, Hourshid Khalili, will be revealed.

Jalayer Khalili was a partner with Farhad Abdsaleh in the company Desert Breeze. After Abdsaleh was convicted of espionage for Britain and sabotage, at the very beginning of his arrest, Jalayer Khalili, with the forgery of signatures by Kaveh Roshvand, transferred all responsibilities to the company Hana, which he controls, while Farhad Abdsaleh was the CEO of Desert Breeze. Haidar Bahmani, the then CEO of drilling, remained silent due to extortion and friendship with Jalayer Khalili. Where does Jalayer Khalili’s judicial and security immunity come from? The Ministry of Intelligence, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Intelligence, and the judiciary extort and remain silent. Documents of judges extorting from Jalayer will be revealed, as well as documents of Kaveh Roshvand’s varied signatures.


The special report is exclusive to Iran Gate and is obtained by informed and exclusive sources for the Iran Gate news agency. Concerning the topic of this article, other documents have been published, which can be viewed via the link below.
