In the complex world of petrochemicals, a gang led by Alireza Eskandari at the Kermanshah Petrochemical Complex, in collaboration with Jafar Hashemi and other accomplices, is actively operating. This corruption network, which excels in product smuggling and economic violations, includes various individuals and companies systematically exploiting the facilities and resources of this complex.
Violations and Deals
The list of violations by this gang is terrifyingly extensive. From renting personal homes for holding nighttime meetings to awarding transportation contracts to the family members of managers, all indicate a complex and deep corruption network. For example, the rental of the personal home of Arash Fazouni's wife for holding nighttime meetings and covering the costs from contractor invoices is just one of the prominent examples of these violations.
Moreover, the awarding of the company's transportation contract to Mahvash Feyzollahi's wife, which includes 20 worn-out minibuses, indicates bid rigging and profit-sharing. In this context, purchasing products outside of the bidding process and through collusion is also clearly evident in this network.
Suspicious Contracts
The €19 million contract for purchasing primary reformer parts with government currency, which is backed by the Fath San'at contracting group, is considered another major violation of this gang. In this contract, only €9 million worth of parts were purchased from abroad, and the fate of €10 million in government currency remains unclear. The documents of these violations have also been skillfully forged and included in the company's financial statements.
Additionally, the overhaul contract for the gas power plant phase one with a paper company from China, registered for €12 million, while only one actual unit has been overhauled and the rest have met an uncertain fate, is a testament to the depth of corruption in this organization.
Another violation includes the purchase of 10 billion tomans worth of gold coins by Alireza Eskandari, the financial source of which remains shrouded in ambiguity.
This story not only highlights corruption in Kermanshah Petrochemical but also raises many questions regarding financial oversight and controls. Will this corruption network collapse soon, or will it continue its clandestine activities?
