Theft of an oil rig in Khuzestan
An oil rig has been stolen in Khuzestan, seventy kilometers from the Ahvaz-Haftkal road.
Yesterday, news was published on social media that an oil rig had been stolen in Khuzestan. According to eyewitnesses, the trucks that transported and moved the parts of the rig had Tehran license plates and had left the province.
According to Fars reports, the managers of the oil-rich and national drilling areas did not react to this news and unofficially denied the appointment of the aforementioned rig to them.
According to published news, citing an informed source whose identity is unknown, the stolen rig does not belong to the southern oil fields and the National Drilling Company, but rather to one of Babak Zanjani's private companies. Babak Zanjani's private company has inactive rigs in various parts of the country.
Babak Zanjani is in prison on charges of embezzlement due to his large-scale financial activities related to circumventing international sanctions and economic corruption; however, the theft of the mentioned rig, which belongs to his private company and no information about the institution or organization has been disclosed, is controversial. No organization has commented on the theft of the mentioned rig and a number of others in different parts of the country, but they have also expressed ignorance.
Is there really any trace of Babak Zanjani's footprints behind the theft of this oil rig, or has the name of Babak Zanjani and his private companies been brought up due to public confusion?
