Mehdi Shafiei Qasemi, a familiar face in the world of oil and petrochemical brokerage, is recognized as one of the key intermediaries in this field. In recent years, he has managed to easily infiltrate contracts in this industry by creating a network of seemingly knowledge-based companies.
Paper Companies and Hidden Brokerage
The company "Atieh Pardazan Zohour Sharif" serves as the main cover for Shafiei's activities, actually housing a collection of paper companies. Names like "Rahavaran Ayandeh Darya" and "Atieh Sazanan Electrode Sharif" appear in the list of companies affiliated with this network, which primarily operate as sales and supply intermediaries for the oil and petrochemical industries.
This broker, with his close connections to the managers of the Persian Gulf Holding, especially Ali Askari, has registered significant contracts in his name. Shafiei Qasemi presents himself as an individual connected with the managers of reputable Iranian petrochemicals in his international dealings.
Circles of Power and Brokerage
The name Hassan Nashanzadeh, CEO of Bidboland Gas Refining Company, is also mentioned as one of Shafiei's supporters in this network. Nashanzadeh, with his extensive powers in introducing companies, is well-positioned in this circle.
Additionally, Rashid Ghanei, the new CEO of Parsian Exploration Production and Energy Company, is another figure associated with this brokerage network. Shafiei also benefits from his close relationships with the managers of Pars Petrochemical Company and holds important contracts.
This hidden world of brokerage and unhealthy financial relationships paints a picture of a cycle of corruption and distrust in the country's oil and petrochemical industry.
