Was the only issue the criminal case involving the Zaviyeh Financial Group and its backers?

Was the only issue the case against the Zaviyeh Financial Group and the masters?

Do you remember all that noise, bizarre efforts, and marginalization created for Judge Amin Tuyserkani, and prior to that for Interrogator Mohammad Nargesian, which I wrote about in Abdi Media?

Suddenly, these controversies faded into silence and...

Finally, Judge Amin Tuyserkani issued his verdict based on a 5-hour trial of the only defendant in this case, Mohsen Eskandari-Nia.

And a matter of great importance: Interrogator Mohammad Nargesian who (of course, if they don't deny it!!) based on the information circulating at the time, was transferred to another prosecutor's office concurrently with the handling of this case, was requested to return to the International Affairs Prosecutor's Office and once again become the special interrogator for international affairs cases!!

Because apparently, the only obstacle was the case against the Zaviyeh Financial Group, which was resolved and put to rest thanks to the pen of the reputable, knowledgeable, diligent, independent, and culture-loving judge! And well, no one will make any efforts to displace or create marginalization for Judge Tuyserkani.

But the court's verdict:
Since the verdict was issued yesterday, it is necessary to state—while observing media fairness—that the interrogator's dismissals of prosecution (gharar-e man'-e ta'ghib) with the justification of "lack of evidence"!!! after extensive investigations!!! have been upheld regarding Mohammad Eskandari-Nia, Shirin Afzali-Nia, Marjan Sadat Hashemian, Hadi System Company, Isfahan Research and Technology Fund, Zaviyeh Financial Group, Zaviyeh M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) Consulting Company, Zaviyeh Drilling Company, Farid Bouzarjomehri, Mehdi Eskandari-Nia, Sheikh Hassan Eskandari-Nia, Ehsan Moghbeli, and Mmes. Kobra Asadi and Fatemeh Eskandari-Nia. These individuals were, in fact, acquitted of the charges, and that's that. This part of the verdict is final!

Furthermore, regarding other instances of alleged corruption, which the official reporter reported to the prosecutor, the court noted that the reporter is not considered a complainant (shaki) and therefore cannot object! By doing so, they kindly used the law to close off any path for supplementary review to uncover other potential corrupt acts!! And that's that!

But what is even more interesting?
Contrary to the report and investigations of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and the Secretariat of the High Council for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism regarding the forgery of the signatures of Mr. Mohammad Eskandari-Nia (residing in Australia) and Mr. Farid Bouzarjomehri (residing in Canada)—with the explanation that the named individuals have no complaints!!!—they have issued a stay of prosecution (gharar-e mowqufi-ye ta'ghib)!

To put it more clearly, the binding directives on money laundering and the activities of shell companies approved by the Anti-Economic Corruption Headquarters for a serious fight against corruption are probably deemed decorative and performative!

More importantly, the Chief Judge, despite the presence of numerous reports and inquiries in the case, including investigations and reports by the Financial Intelligence Unit, statutory auditors, and Interpol indicating that none of the anti-money laundering requirements were observed in the process of actions and facilities, rejected them and acquitted the defendant of the money laundering charge!

Regarding the attempt to defraud other complainants as well—who, without the slightest benefit, guaranteed the Zaviyeh Financial Group (and that too without even visiting the credit institutions themselves!)—the court acquitted the defendant!!

Furthermore, regarding the checks issued which, according to the complainants' claims and the interrogator's investigations, were issued with the knowledge that the bank account was blocked—contrary to Article 10 of the Check Issuance Law and without re-investigation (as requested by the complainants) into the cause of issuing the checks and the resulting fraudulent maneuvers—the court deemed it to lack criminal liability, and this portion of the complainants' demands was not accepted in the criminal verdict!

However, the esteemed Chief Judge, solely for forging the signature of one of the complainants, sentenced Mohsen Eskandari-Nia to two terms of seven months and sixteen days in prison, and for using the forged document to 7 months and 16 days in prison. Solely for one instance of fraud (and that too for the official reporter of the alleged crimes of this group, whose special follow-ups perhaps moved the court's heart, or...?!), the court sentenced the defendant to four years and one day in prison and a fine of two billion five hundred million Tomans, though notably without the restitution of property (radd-e maal)!

Why? Because the complainant took legal action on the check, and Article 3 of the Law on how to Execute Financial Condemnations was applied!!!

Do you remember the "Post-13MN Lie"?

In the end, as I have said many times, it was only Mohsen Eskandari-Nia, born in 1984, who single-handedly committed all these acts, and no one else!

And the silence will continue to prevail.
Because the interrogator returned to his previous special job,
And no one will create marginalization for the Chief Judge either!

Now, has the reason for the lack of investigation and accountability by the Iranian National Tax Administration, despite all the follow-ups, become clear? Well, apparently there was no macro-scale tax evasion either!
