Seyed Jafar Hashemi, a name that has once again become prominent in the world of Iran's oil and gas, is now at the center of a controversial case. This adventurous manager, who has a history of managing Kermanshah Petrochemical, is currently grappling with accusations including organized smuggling. But how has such an individual managed to assume the management position of Parsian Oil and Gas Holding?
The Secret of 60,000 Tons of Urea
The story began with the illegal exit of 60,000 tons of urea from Kermanshah Petrochemical. A shipment that was stored in an illegal warehouse and gradually removed initially had a value of $400 per ton. However, with the increase in global prices, its value has now reached $900 per ton. This discovery led to Hashemi's dismissal from his position at Kermanshah Petrochemical, but with behind-the-scenes support, including connections with Gholamreza Tajgardoon, he managed to overcome legal obstacles.
Behind-the-Scenes Support
Despite failing security checks, Hashemi managed to reach the CEO position of Parsian Oil and Gas Holding with the help of his connections. Meanwhile, Manouchehr Habibi, the governor of Kermanshah, also played a role in halting the execution of his arrest warrant. Hashemi, in collaboration with Seyed Farid Mirlouhi, appointed Ali Kiani, who had no executive experience, to the chairmanship and then to the CEO position of Kermanshah Petrochemical.
Critics of these events believe that someone with such serious accusations should not be placed in such sensitive positions. However, it seems that in Iran, connections and behind-the-scenes support continue to play a decisive role in the fate of managers.
