In a tragic incident that casts a shadow over the city of Seydon, Mansour Bamzad, a 30-year-old married worker, was kidnapped six months ago by three personnel from law enforcement and transferred to Ahvaz. According to local information, he lost his life during inhumane interrogations, and his body was brutally buried along the Abadan–Ahvaz road.
Influence and Lobbying Behind the Scenes
In this case, Hassan Bagheri, Ghafar Bagheri, and Saeed Mohammadi have been identified as the main perpetrators of the murder. However, it seems that the hands behind the scenes extend beyond these individuals; Allahbakhsh Mohammadi and Rasoul Bagheri have also been implicated in this matter. It is said that Mansour Bamzad previously worked on the Tang Chavil gas pipeline under the supervision of Allahbakhsh Mohammadi, and financial motives or suspicious activities related to "treasure hunting" may have played a role in this crime.
Informed sources point to the influence of Farshad Ebrahimpour, a member of parliament and son-in-law of Hassan Bagheri. These individuals have somehow managed to lobby for the release of three of the accused, and efforts to free others are ongoing. Interestingly, even before this incident occurred, the appointment of Hassan Bagheri as the political-security deputy of the Seydon governorate had been discussed.
Case Diversion and Social Concerns
Efforts to divert the legal course of the case are clearly evident; including the reconstruction of a scene that took place at the police headquarters in Ahvaz instead of the actual crime location and the transfer of the investigation from Seydon to the provincial capital. These actions have severely impacted the demands of the victim's relatives to shorten the reach of the influential individuals.
Based on the information obtained, the release of the accused could lead to tribal tensions and regional conflicts, highlighting the necessity for serious intervention by higher judicial authorities.
