While government figures constantly speak about morality, behind the scenes a network led by Behrouz Bahmani is allegedly managing one of the dirtiest businesses in the region: human trafficking and drug distribution.
1. Exposure of the Human Trafficking Case and Judicial Influence
Behrouz Bahmani is not only the rent-seeking business partner of IRGC Brigadier General Ahmad Vahid Dastjerdi, but also a long-time close associate of Sasha Sobhani, widely known as a controversial regime insider.
The Case of Vahid Rashidi
Rashidi, a key member of the Bahmani–Sobhani network, was arrested in Iran and imprisoned on charges of trafficking young women to Dubai.
However, this case illustrates the depth of this network’s influence within the judiciary: Bahmani reportedly spent enormous sums of money and used financial influence to secure Rashidi’s release from prison after only one year.
The Method Used to Recruit Young Women
According to reports, the group deceived young women by using Sasha Sobhani’s name under the pretext of “finding a wife for Sasha.”
Victims were encouraged to send their photos and videos to a Telegram group.
These images and personal details, managed through phone numbers controlled by Vahid Rashidi, effectively served as a database used by the network to identify and transport women to luxury villas in Dubai.
2. Dubai Villas: A Center of Corruption and Controlled Supply
Bahmani’s villas in Dubai’s Golf States area (near the central square) reportedly host former and current ministers.
According to the allegations, cocaine, pills and women are supplied through members of the network including Aria Naghdi, allowing corrupt deals involving oil contracts and energy rents to be finalized in these gatherings.
3. Identity Fraud and Money Laundering Network
Omid Sharifzadeh
He is reportedly responsible for obtaining Dominican passports for corrupt officials and their families so they can escape abroad if necessary.
He allegedly attempted the same process for the family of Kourosh Company, but the request was rejected.
Shelbit Exchange
This exchange office is allegedly run by fugitive fraudsters Siavash Keyvanpour and Mojgan Rahimian and is used to launder the dirty money connected to this network.
The “Dubai Mafia” Network
From Golf-State Villas to Profiting from a Nation’s Wealth
While poverty spreads across Iran, in the heart of Dubai a powerful network led by Behrouz Bahmani has allegedly built a vast empire of financial corruption, moral corruption and money laundering based on oil rents and security connections.
This report reveals individuals who allegedly provide ministers with women and cocaine using money taken from the Iranian people.
1. Behrouz Bahmani: Broker of Power and Corruption
Bahmani is not simply a businessman; he is described as a key associate of IRGC Brigadier General Ahmad Vahid Dastjerdi, a senior official connected to the intelligence office of the Supreme Leader.
This relationship allegedly connects Bahmani directly to energy projects and networks involved in oil smuggling.
Moral Corruption
His villas in the Golf States area of Dubai reportedly host lavish parties for current and former ministers where drugs and women are provided.
Connections with Controversial Celebrities
Individuals such as actress Sahar Ghoreishi and fugitive fraudster Amirhossein Sharifian (known as Kourosh Company) have reportedly appeared at these gatherings.
2. Aria Naghdi: The Financial Keeper
Aria Naghdi, reportedly the financial handler for Ahmad Vahid Dastjerdi, is described as one of the key figures in Iran’s oil-smuggling network.
He was sentenced in Dubai to 15 years in prison for money laundering but was released after roughly one year following pressure from Iranian authorities.
3. The Sharifzadeh Network
Omid Sharifzadeh is described as a close associate of Bahmani specializing in acquiring alternative identities for corrupt officials.
Dominican Passports
He allegedly provides Dominican passports to many regime insiders and their families so they can flee abroad if necessary.
Iman Sharifzadeh
His brother in Tehran is reportedly involved in building hotels and towers financed by illicit funds.
4. Money Laundering Through Shadow Exchanges
Funds obtained through oil smuggling are reportedly moved through unlicensed exchange offices.
Shelbit Exchange
This exchange office, allegedly run by Siavash Keyvanpour and Mojgan Rahimian, is said to handle the laundering of money connected to Bahmani and Dastjerdi.
5. Family Hypocrisy
Reports indicate that Bahmani’s father built a mosque and a religious center in Thailand two years ago.
Critics argue that while the family publicly presents itself as religious, members of the network are reportedly involved in drug-fueled parties in Dubai.
Bahmani’s children were reportedly born in the United States, and he has separated from his former wife due to his underground lifestyle.
