"Part One: Revealing the Corruption Information of the IRGC Security Gang

Combining security and intelligence monopolies with weapons and prison keys creates a recipe for destroying the economy while presenting a facade of Islamic symbols for a "better world."

According to reliable documents received by Abdimedia, widespread corruption involving high-ranking officers within the IRGC Intelligence Organization has led to major disruptions in the country’s banking system due to their influence and abuse of power.

This information is being released to enlighten and encourage the judiciary to seriously investigate and address these individuals. The release of this information occurs because the relevant authorities have failed to resolve the issue, and the situation has reached the point where oversight bodies can no longer remain silent.

This report involves the infiltration of certain IRGC intelligence members into three private banks: Ayandeh Bank, Eghtesad Novin Bank, and Tourism Bank.

In Tourism Bank, this security group has used its influence and legal cases against the bank owner to seize control of subsidiary companies and appoint key managers. They fabricated charges against Mehdi Jahangiri, imprisoned him, and then forced him to buy a hotel at a specific price in Karbala. They negotiated with the judiciary to grant him temporary freedom and during this period, he had to buy the hotel at double the price to satisfy their demands, including the installation of managers in subsidiaries like the bank’s currency exchange branch.

The same has occurred at Ayandeh Bank, where security forces exert pressure and control over staffing decisions, disrupting asset sales intended to stabilize the bank.

In the case of Eghtesad Novin Bank, CEO Alireza Belgouri, who has a legal case regarding foreign currency transactions, was promised help with his case in exchange for cooperation with this security group. Belgouri has granted substantial loans to problematic individuals without proper credit checks. Further details of these relations will be presented in subsequent reports.

Currently, the currency exchange division of Eghtesad Novin Bank is under the control of this security group, who claim to have authorization from the Supreme National Security Council to bypass sanctions. Without showing the letter to the bank’s board under the pretext of confidentiality, they forced the bank to allocate resources to their goals.

The documents received by Abdimedia reveal widespread corruption, implicating some within the government as well. Further details will be disclosed gradually. We hope that the judiciary takes decisive action before another large-scale embezzlement scandal occurs.

In the next part, we will introduce the members of this security group, the companies involved, and their methods.
