The disclosure of details about the informal sale of products in Maroon Petrochemical once again highlights the networked and systematic nature of corruption under Amin Emraei's management in this company. The obtained images and documents show that with Emraei's direct order and the cooperation of Saeed Farikhizadeh, his cousin who manages the Maroon Petrobespar company, the produced materials from the main sites and Maroon Two are transferred to Maroon One instead of being sold in the usual way through the stock exchange. There, these materials are emptied from the packaging bags and placed in containers to be sold as produced and polymer materials in the informal market. The profits from these sales are transferred outside the official auditing circle of the company to the ring led by Emraei.
Details of Corruption in Maroon Petrochemical
Informed sources have revealed according to the provided documents that more than hundreds of containers are moved daily, which amounts to astronomical figures. According to existing documents, Maroon Petrochemical, through Petrobespar company managed by Farikhizadeh and Jahanmardi, offers hundreds of tons of raw materials daily in the open market instead of polymer materials. These activities indicate the continuation of corruption by this ring led by Emraei in various other projects and contracts.
Meanwhile, the management of Maroon and Petrobespar in the past two years have refused to pay workers' wages on time or have suspended significant parts of workers' benefits and bonuses under false pretenses such as production stoppage during war, which is revealed to be a lie for selling products in the open market. Feydus had previously warned regulatory bodies that Amin Emraei's network has initiated a large and unprecedented corruption in Maroon and is trying to form a circle of seemingly trusted managers around him with familial appointments like Farikhizadeh's in Petrobespar to manage and guide this corruption network and prevent the leakage of documents of violations and corruption.
Lack of Response from Regulatory Bodies
It is unclear why, despite the fact that Maroon's status according to all documents has been declining and production has decreased, and on the other hand, Emraei's corruption cases have been publicized multiple times, higher authorities and regulatory bodies do not take action to stop this corruption network and investigate Emraei's personal accounts. A manager who, by creating an active network of corrupt managers and some family members responsible for transferring money abroad and financial circulation in multiple accounts to erase his traces, has received hundreds of billions in profits from this corruption cycle in Maroon Petrochemical during this period of management.
