Who is Behind the 20,000-ton Bitumen Rent
According to published information and reports, the imminent departure of a 20,000-ton barter bitumen shipment stored in a private warehouse at kilometer 16 of the special road has raised significant questions and ambiguities regarding the process of obtaining the necessary transfer stamps and signatures. According to these reports, names such as Reza Yarmohammadi, Hamzeh Vakili, Deputy Supervisor of TAPICO Companies, Abolfazl Alavi, Deputy of Commerce of Pasargad Oil Company, Bagher Ibaigi, CEO of Pasargad Oil Company, Azimifar, and Meysam Saeedi, CEO of Shasta, have been mentioned in connection with this process.
It is said that in this process, coordination for obtaining permits has been done outside the usual transparent procedures, and the issue of stamping and signing documents is also accompanied by ambiguities. It is also claimed that some individuals have played the role of intermediaries or coordinators between different sections. In such circumstances, any lack of transparency can pave the way for the formation of golden signature rent or administrative violations, issues that directly target public trust.
Given the sensitivity of the issue, the large volume of the shipment, and the organizational position of the mentioned individuals, it is essential that oversight, inspection, and judicial bodies promptly examine all aspects of the case, from the manner of issuing permits and the path of document transfer to the decision-making process and the responsibility of each involved individual. Public dissemination of the results of these investigations will also be a significant step towards protecting public interests.
A real fight against corruption is only achieved through complete transparency, manager accountability, effective oversight, and decisive action against any potential misconduct. The public expects that in such cases, the principle should be maximum transparency and prevention of any misuse of administrative positions.
