As rumors about the potential appointment of Mohammad Soleimani as the head of the Oil Equipment Industries Holding increase, his record at the Oil Investment Company, which was marked by a series of administrative and financial violations, has come to light. Two members of parliament are unofficially working to appoint Soleimani, which may relate to their financial dealings with him.
The Behind-the-Scenes of Appointing a Controversial Manager
According to available information, the issue of excessive increases in salaries and benefits at the Oil Investment Company during Soleimani's management indicates that the appointment of this manager is backed by rent-seeking and political connections. In one administrative letter, the Oil Investment Company has asked Soleimani to provide reasons for the increase in salaries and benefits of managers above the approved rate.
During his management at the Oil Investment Company, Mohammad Soleimani had increased salaries and benefits by about 105 percent. Additionally, in another letter, the issue of the lack of professional qualifications of some board members and the necessity of adhering to regulatory guidelines has been emphasized.
Suspicious Connections and Lack of Action Against Corruption
In a letter dated January 1, 2024, the Oil Investment Company has requested Soleimani to prevent Habibollah Dibaichi (the son-in-law of Ali Shamkhani's family) from participating in board meetings. This close connection between Soleimani and Dibaichi clearly reveals the reasons for the lack of action against Soleimani's corruption and misconduct, as well as his career advancement path.
