The problematic and political management of Hashim Najafi at Jam Petrochemical has resulted in significant losses and deep corruption. One of the corruption cases involves the purchase of a shipment of DMDS chemical from China at an unconventional price. Meanwhile, this product has been produced with high quality at Ilam Petrochemical for years and is widely used in complexes located in Assaluyeh and Mahshahr.
Unconventional Purchase and Its Consequences
The value of the imported shipment is estimated to be over one million euros. However, according to technical reports, the imported DMDS has been rejected due to non-compliance with the technical specifications and standards approved by Jam Petrochemical, and due to the potential damage to equipment, it has practically remained unused.
This issue is a sign of weakness in the decision-making process and hidden motives behind this purchase. Mohammad Hashemi, the procurement and logistics manager of Jam Petrochemical, and Hamed Tabibi, the commercial manager of this company, are individuals identified as the agents of this purchase and are considered close associates of Hashim Najafi.
Critics argue that this decision not only disregards the capacities of domestic production but has also caused direct damage and laid the groundwork for significant corruption of financial resources for oil industry retirees.
Now, with the revelation of this corruption case, the demand has once again been raised that supervisory bodies and the new management of Jam Petrochemical must prevent further damage to national assets by transparently addressing such issues. According to critics, this matter is not limited to this company and is a sign of a widespread crisis in the country's oil industry.
