Ali Justice Cyber Group Reveals: IRGC Intelligence Sought Travel Ban for 37 Rouhani-Era Officials
The Ali Justice cyber group has released a confidential letter in which the IRGC’s Intelligence Organization requested that the prosecutor general and revolutionary prosecutor issue travel bans for 37 officials from the Rouhani government.
In this letter dated the 15th of Shahrivar of the current year, the reason cited for issuing this request was to prevent the leakage of classified information, including crude oil sales figures.
Touraj Dehghani Zanganeh, CEO of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization; Hamidreza Haq Bina, International Director of the National Iranian Gas Company; Homayoun Haeri, Deputy for Electricity and Energy Affairs at the Ministry of Power; Mohsen Tarztaleb, CEO of the Thermal Power Generation Company; Ali Akbar Pour Abraham, CEO of Niko Company; and Marjan Bakhtiari, a Niko Company expert, are among those whom the IRGC Intelligence Organization suspected of leaking crude oil sales information.
In this letter, the IRGC Intelligence Organization also requested that managers of Niko Company who are in Switzerland be brought back into the country and then issued travel bans.
Some of the individuals named in this document apparently have no connection to oil sales and have been issued travel bans for other reasons, including accusations of economic corruption.
Some domestic media outlets have pointed to family connections between some of these individuals and Hassan Rouhani, the former president.
