Recent documents and reports from the oil industry circles indicate that serious financial and managerial corruption has occurred in the process of selling asphalt from Pasargad Oil for nearly 40 million dollars. This amount is equivalent to nearly five thousand billion tomans and has created special sensitivity given the company's dependence on the capital resources of social security retirees.
Managers in the Shadow of Corruption
According to published documents, the sale of asphalt was carried out through a subsidiary company named "Hormoz Pasargad." The management of this company is under the responsibility of Tavhid Lotfipour Saeedi, an individual who previously worked as a transportation expert at the Tabriz complex affiliated with Pasargad Oil and was appointed as the CEO of Hormoz Pasargad this year.
Some transactional documents refer to the intermediary role of commercial networks active abroad in the export transactions of asphalt. At the top of the management structure of Pasargad Oil, Amir Hossein Bagheri Baigi is mentioned as the CEO.
A Chain of Connections
In another section of the documents, the working and managerial connections among some managers in the Shasta area, refining and distribution, and the companies' oversight section are clearly outlined. Names such as Hamzeh Vakili (Deputy for Company Affairs Oversight), Meysam Saeedi (CEO of Shasta), and Mohammad Sadegh Azimi Far (CEO of Refining and Distribution) are mentioned in the decision-making and managerial appointments chain.
Oil industry experts believe that given this company's financial connections with retirees' resources, a thorough examination of these documents by regulatory and judicial bodies is essential. Clarification in this case could play a key role in maintaining public trust in the management structure of large energy companies.
