The Imam's Command Headquarters is a major economic plunderer and a rival to the IRGC's prestige.

His name became famous when he entered into oil contracts. Neither did he buy a part of the shares of a telecommunications company, nor his construction activities, nor when he entered banking activities, nor when he launched the Talia prepaid mobile phone. “Tadbir Economic Development Group”……. However, he made headlines when one of his newly established subsidiaries took over the development of an oil field in its first contract.

 It was only after that that the analyses began and the “Tadbir Group” and its subsidiaries came to the attention of the media. When the ceremony for the construction of the peace pipeline was held in Pakistan, the name of the “Tadbir Group” as its builder was mentioned on telexes. Is this news true? Where is the “Tadbir Economic Group” affiliated with? How does it earn income and how does it spend it? What are the six major holding companies under the “Tadbir Economic Development Group”? You will read the answers to these questions.

So, the audience does not know much about the activities of this large economic organization. Just as they do not know much about the activities of the "Barakat Foundation". A large charitable foundation that was formed under the supervision of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's (may Allah have mercy on him) order to empower deprived areas and engage in public benefit activities. That is for the benefit of the needy and for underprivileged areas. How much income does the "Tadbir Economic Development Group" with all its companies have? How much does the "Barakat Foundation" spend?

This headquarters was launched on May 26, 1989, about a month before the death of Ruhollah Khomeini, through a decree issued to Mr. Habibollah Asgarovaladi, Mehdi Karroubi, and Hassan Sanei to take possession of all funds and properties of unknown owner without owner, inheritance without heir, and properties that have been placed at the disposal of the Supreme Leader for the purpose of assessment, release from liability, and implementation of Article 49 of the Constitution and other laws. The aforementioned were authorized by Ruhollah Khomeini to take any action they deem appropriate in all aspects of their sale, maintenance, and administration, or to delegate part of these powers to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. This headquarters was required by this decree to spend all the income generated in matters prescribed by Sharia, the Martyr Foundation, the 15th of Khordad Foundation, the Housing Foundation, the Relief Committee, the Welfare Organization, the Martyr Rajai Project, and the Islamic Revolution Veterans Foundation, and other matters of their choice. After the death of Ruhollah Khomeini, the presidency of the headquarters was transferred by Seyyed Ali Khamenei to Mohammad Shariatmadari in 1994, and then in 1997, Dr. Mohammad Javad Iravani was appointed to this position. Mohammad Mokhbar has been the president of the headquarters since 2007.

The dual legal nature of the headquarters

The Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is organizationally composed of two parts: the judiciary and the economic enterprise. The judicial branch has laws approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, and the economic branch is organized by the order of Seyyed Ali Khamenei. The financial resources of the economic branch are provided by the judicial branch and its economic activities. In such a way that this headquarters even pays taxes in the field of its economic activities. This is while according to Article 44 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Iranian economic system is based on three sectors: government, cooperative, and private, and no other economic sector that functions under the supervision of the Leader has been defined.

The dual judicial and economic nature of the headquarters violates the basic principles of systems based on the separation of powers, because in such systems the judiciary is independent of the legislative and executive branches. According to Article 57 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the legislative, executive, and judicial branches are independent of each other.

Conflict in the implementation of Principle 49

According to Article 49 of the Constitution, the government is obligated to seize wealth resulting from usury, usurpation, bribery, embezzlement, theft, gambling, misuse of endowments, misuse of government contracts and transactions, sale of lands that are not in the public domain, establishment of places of corruption, and other illegitimate matters, and return it to the rightful owner, or if the owner is unknown, give it to the Treasury. This ruling must be implemented by the government through investigation, investigation, and Islamic evidence.

However, according to Article 8 of the Law on the Implementation of Article 49 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, approved on May 17, 1984 by the second session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, chaired by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, after the court has determined that the property and assets of natural or legal persons are illegitimate, if the amount is known and the owner is known, it must be returned to the owner, but if the owner is not known, it must be placed at the disposal of the guardian. If the amount is not known and the owner is known, it must be reconciled with the owner of the property, but if the owner is not known, it must be placed at the disposal of the guardian . 

The conflict between this resolution and Article 49 of the Constitution is clear in its implementation.

Working in parallel with the organization for the collection and sale of acquired property

The law establishing the Organization for the Collection and Sale of Property and its statutes were approved on November 7, 1991 by the third term of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, chaired by Mehdi Karroubi.

The duties of the Organization for the Collection and Sale of Acquired Property, as stated in Article 1 of the Law on the Establishment of the Organization for the Collection and Sale of Acquired Property and its Statute, share the legal duties of the Headquarters, which is a kind of parallel work in the implementation of the Constitution.

The then head of the judiciary, Sadeq Larijani, in his circular No. 100/15658/9000 dated 27/3/1392 to judicial authorities throughout the country, transferred a large part of the legal duties of the organization for collecting and selling property to the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree and considered that headquarters to be the only authorized institution regarding property related to the Supreme Leader. In addition, he generalized the property in the possession of the Supreme Leader to the following: property of unknown owner, ownerless, inheritance without heirs, smuggled goods without owner and owner who is absconding, and property deposited in free and special economic zones, abandoned and abandoned property, property and properties of missing persons, property that is in the possession of the Supreme Leader due to assessment and discharge from liability and implementation of Article 49 of the Constitution and other laws.

Exclusion of inspection and audit by the General Inspection Organization of the country

The activities of the headquarters are not subject to the supervision of the General Inspectorate of the country, according to Note 2 of the Law on the List of Public Non-Governmental Institutions and Institutions approved on 1373.04.29 by the fourth term of the Islamic Consultative Assembly chaired by Ali Akbar Nateq Nouri, which states: (The implementation of the law on public institutions and institutions that are under the supervision of the position of Velayat-e-Faqih will be with the permission of His Majesty) unless an inspection is requested by the Leader in accordance with Article 2, Clause B of the Law on the Establishment of the General Inspectorate of the Country.

In addition, the headquarters does not fall under any of the provisions of Article 2 of the Law on the Establishment of the General Inspectorate of the Country, which explains the scope of inspection of the said organization.

Tax exemption

According to Article 78 of the Law on the Addition of Certain Articles to the Law on the Regulation of Part of the Government's Financial Regulations (2) dated 13.12.13 of the ninth session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in order to establish educational justice and implement Article 30 of the Constitution and equip all educational institutions, with priority given to deprived areas and villages, Astan Quds Razavi and those economic institutions and enterprises subordinate to the Armed Forces and the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree and other executive bodies that have not paid taxes until the ratification of this law, were required to pay direct taxes and value-added tax.

But on the other hand, paragraph (4) of Article (2) of the Law Amending the Direct Taxes Law, passed on May 27, 2015, by the ninth session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, exempts Islamic Revolution foundations and institutions with exemption permits from Ruhollah Khomeini and Seyyed Ali Khamenei from paying direct taxes.

The regulations for handling cases subject to Article 49 were issued on March 10, 2010 by the then head of the judiciary, Seyyed Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, based on the authority delegated by the Leader.

According to a circular dated 14.05.2009 by the then head of the judiciary, Seyyed Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, it was decided that rulings and decisions issued in cases involving property at the disposal of the Supreme Leader would continue to be issued and communicated in the name of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree.

According to the ruling dated 2014.06.03, Sadegh Amoli Larijani, the head of the Judiciary, appointed Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei as the head and member of the headquarters for monitoring and following up on cases subject to Article 49 of the Constitution. 

In 2007, with the coming to power of Mohammad Mokhbar, a new approach to social and economic activities for the headquarters was initiated by Ali Khamenei with the aim of providing the opportunity for people to participate, especially entrepreneurs, inventors, and the country's elites, by giving priority to the deprived segments of society in the deprived areas of the country. Not only has this not been achieved so far, but it has also led to the execution of many entrepreneurs.

The economic section of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is not recognized as a public non-governmental institution because it is not mentioned in the Law on the List of Public Non-Governmental Institutions and Institutions approved on 1373.04.29 by the fourth term of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, chaired by Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri.

Part of the organizational structure of the Economic Division of the Headquarters was published by the US Treasury Department in 2002.

Barakat Foundation

The income from the implementation of Article 49 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as the income from the headquarters' economic activities, which are carried out under the guise of the private sector, is spent in an institution called the Barakat Foundation.

The Barakat Foundation began its work in December 2007, two months after Mohammad Mokhbar came to power. According to Shahin Shayan Arani, the first CEO of this foundation, "According to the announced policies, only work in rural areas and remote and deprived areas of the country" is on the agenda of this foundation. The activities of the Barakat Foundation are carried out in the social field. The title chosen for the foundation's 2015 report was "From Mosque Building to Poverty Alleviation."

In 2009, this group was involved in the purchase of a large portion of the shares of the Iranian Telecommunication Company, which caused legal ambiguities and many protests, along with several other companies. Before that, in 2000, this group purchased 48 percent of the shares of Pars Oil, which was the largest stock exchange transaction of that period. 

It should be noted that the method of confiscating and selling the property entrusted to the above-mentioned institution in Article 49 of the Constitution according to a government decree has always been debatable. However, looking at the five-year activity of that headquarters regarding the sale of property and the manner of holding auctions for the general public is worth considering. Also, the confiscation order in favor of the above-mentioned organization is carried out only by judicial authorities, based on legal and judicial process, and with the recognition of Sharia rulers. 

The rumor that the assets of the aforementioned headquarters were announced by the CEO of its Property and Real Estate Organization is inconsistent with the reality that the confiscated properties and real estate were not valued and some of them were returned to their rightful owners by the judicial authorities. From the point of view of critics and opponents, the mere continuation of the activities of this headquarters to this day, while it was initially launched with a one-year deadline, is in itself thought-provoking.

Also, according to those who want a complete overhaul of the activities of this headquarters, in 1970, with the issuance of a decree by Seyyed Ali Khamenei to confiscate the properties of relatives of the Pahlavi dynasty, Jews and other minorities, and even Muslim immigrants, without a lawyer or representative to oversee the properties, the headquarters' performance took on special conditions. According to them, of the approximately ten thousand cases pursued by the executive headquarters in recent years, only 50 percent were related to relatives of the former regime, and about 50 percent were related to Iranian Muslims who had traveled abroad and had no affiliation with the former regime, and all or part of their properties were confiscated simply because they were residing abroad.

In fact, one of the main reasons for this deviation is that the ruling judges benefit from confiscated property, and in some cases they have been accused of purchasing from one to five properties for about 10 to 30 percent of their price, and it has been stated that the headquarters officials have not only not been upset by this phenomenon, but have also encouraged and approved it.

Regardless of the ambiguities and serious legal and religious implications that arise from the seizure of property of citizens residing in other countries for various reasons, the costs of this work for the image of the system, by creating a base for opponents, creating discontent against the system, forming corruption rings and mafia gangs to seize property under the cover of Article 49 and the executive headquarters, and its consequence, creating contamination in the judicial system, bailiffs, and the executive headquarters, are heavy, and the need for revision is evident.

Also, the provisions of Article 49 were not only aimed at pursuing the confiscation of the properties of former regime associates (while its implementation, according to critics, was very incomplete and amounted to a quarter of all properties across the country), and over the years since the ratification of the Constitution, no serious work has been done to implement other provisions, which doubles the need to revise the structure of the executive headquarters.

• Oil contracts
  • Contract to develop the northern part of the Yaran Joint Field (shared with Iraq): worth $600 million, which was concluded as part of previous oil contracts with the Persia Oil and Gas Industry Development Company (a subsidiary of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree).
  • Contract for the development of the joint Yaran field and the Kopal and Maroon fields: The amount of the contract was not officially announced, but Tasnim News Agency previously reported its value at $2.5 billion. The agreement was signed between Gholamreza Manouchehri, deputy head of the National Iranian Oil Company, and Naji Saadouni, CEO of the Persia Oil and Gas Industry Development Company (based on the new model of Iranian oil contracts). 

The oil company affiliated with the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is one of eight Iranian companies that the Ministry of Oil has approved for oil exploration and production activities.

• Economic sector assets

This headquarters is one of the largest economic institutions in Iran. In November 2013, Reuters, in a series of analytical articles, estimated the value of assets controlled by the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree at over $95 billion, based on official documents and evidence and an assessment of the value of real estate, shares of companies and institutions affiliated with this entity.

Previously, the Chief of Staff had announced the value of real estate owned by the organization at fifty trillion tomans. 

On June 4, 2013, the United States Department of the Treasury issued Executive Order 13599 The Executive Headquarters imposed sanctions on the Imam's decree. This sanction was issued in reinforcement of the executive orders issued in accordance with the D'Amato Act.

Accordingly, in the list published on January 16, 2016 The Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is not on the SDN List. And it was not subject to secondary sanctions. But American citizens are obligated to block the interests or profits of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree.

In July 2010, the European Union placed the then head of the Executive Office of the Imam's Decree, Mohammad Mokhbar, on a list of individuals or legal entities likely to be involved in Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, but two years later removed him from the list without any explanation.

In fact, since the beginning of their regime’s rule, the government officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have tried, each in their own way, to become a power mafia and seize Iran’s assets and economy in any way they can. Dozens of organizations and institutions, such as the Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Executive Headquarters of the Imam’s Decree, etc., have emerged, each of which has played a role in the plunder and plunder of Iran in some way.

A quick glance reveals that the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is run under the direct leadership of Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, and according to some sources, it is Khamenei's powerful arm.

The organization's capital is currently $95 billion. $52 billion of this capital is allocated to lands that were owned by (officials and officials of the monarchy, as well as national minorities and opponents of the Islamic Republic, etc.) and were therefore confiscated by the regime, and $43 billion of it is the value of companies that this headquarters has established or purchased.

As mentioned, the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree was established in 1989 and was formed in accordance with Article 49 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, passed by the Iranian Parliament in 1985. This organization began its activities in 1989 by order of Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini issued a two-paragraph decree asking Habibollah Askarouladi (who passed away some time ago) to implement, in cooperation with Mehdi Karroubi and Hassan Sanei, a clause included in the constitution in 1985. According to Article 49, the properties and assets of officials and relatives of the monarchy must be identified and confiscated, or else they must be sold and the proceeds paid to organizations and foundations affiliated with the Leader of Iran, such as the "Martyr Foundation", the "15th of Khordad Foundation", and the "Imam Khomeini Relief Committee". As stipulated in the law, the headquarters had only one year to complete its work and was to be dissolved at the end of 1980. But now, after 24 years, it continues to operate. Following Khomeini’s death and Khamenei’s accession to the leadership, the headquarters continued to operate with the cooperation of Ali Khamenei. In fact, Ali Khamenei wanted to use this organization to achieve a kind of financial independence from the government.

Four years ago, the Iranian parliament passed a resolution exempting the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree from financial and asset investigations. The resolution states that centers and organizations affiliated with the leadership are not subject to any investigation or investigation except with the permission of the leader.

The Executive Headquarters of the Imam’s Decree, in cooperation with the Revolutionary Court, has confiscated or forcibly seized and confiscated all lands and properties owned by religious minorities, opponents of the Islamic Republic, or agents of the former regime. The aforementioned report mentions the confiscation of the properties and assets of the Baha’is of Iran by the Executive Headquarters of the Imam’s Decree, in such a way that they have either been forced to buy back their properties from the regime or have been forced to give them up.

As its name suggests, this organization is affiliated with the leadership and is headed by Ali Khamenei himself. The Parliament and the Court of Administrative Accounts, which are defined as two supervisory institutions in the Iranian Constitution, do not have any authority over this organization.

Most of the officials responsible for this organization were previously government officials and ministers or trusted by Ali Khamenei.

Real Estate and Land: According to information, this organization owns confiscated real estate and land estimated to be worth $52 billion. All of these properties and lands are owned by dissidents of the Islamic Republic, as well as national and religious minorities.

Workshops and Companies: The total value of workshops and companies under the supervision of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is estimated at $43 billion. Because this organization has broad authority, it operates in all fields, from oil and gas, banking, automobile manufacturing, pharmaceuticals to foreign relations.

According to information, four years ago, the "Tehse Etemad Mobin" group of companies, 38 percent of whose shares are owned by the Imam's Executive Order Headquarters, purchased 50 percent of the Iranian Telecommunication Company for 7,800 billion Tomans, and after this transaction, one of the headquarters' managers was appointed to the position of chairman of the telecommunications company.

Another company in which the said headquarters has a stake is Parsian Bank, 25% of whose shares belong to the headquarters. Although according to information, the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree owns less than half of the shares in most companies, because it is supported by the Leader of Iran, it has the first and last word in all the companies and companies in which it has a stake.

Most of the headquarters' production and economic activities are carried out by a group known as the Tadbir Economic Development Group. The Tadbir Group owns six companies, each of which operates in a specific field. Such as the Tadbir Building Development Group, which is headed by Mohammad Saeedikia, former Minister of Civil Engineering and Development. Also the Tadbir Power Development Group, which is headed by Gholamhossein Nozari, former Minister of Oil of Iran. One of the important contracts of this company is the $600 million contract for the "Yaran" oil field, which was recently signed between them and the Iranian Ministry of Oil.

Aref Norouzi, a former official of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree, stated in an interview with Fars News Agency in 1999 that the headquarters' profit on the stock market was 800 billion tomans. He added that the headquarters currently owns 25% of the shares of Parsian Bank, 20% of the shares of Mellat Bank, 15% of the shares of Karafarin Bank, and about 10% of the shares of Iran Khodro.

Reuters reports that three years ago, the headquarters acquired the Ray Group of Companies. The group consists of 25 different companies, each of which operates in various fields, from energy, transportation and banking to ostrich farming. According to the US Treasury Department, the value of Ray's companies exceeds forty billion dollars.

The said headquarters states in a report that it transfers all of its revenues from various economic fields to another group of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree, called the Barakat Institute, and the Barakat Institute also spends it on production in Iran. In practice, this report is nothing more than a justification.

In general, it can be said that the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is a shadow government. Because most of the officials of this headquarters are former ministers and powerful officials of Iran who take orders directly from the Supreme Leader of Iran. The Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is in fierce competition with the Revolutionary Guards in all economic and political fields. For this reason, it can be said that the Iranian government is divided into several poles, each of which wants its share of income and power in Iran.

The Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is one of Iran's financial-economic cartels. And in the past 5 years, it has been the only competitor of the Revolutionary Guards in many economic activities. Because it is affiliated with Khamenei, the Executive Headquarters enjoys very strong economic and security rents and has remained free from any supervision and criticism.
The Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree is a governmental, not a state, institution that operates under the direct supervision of the Supreme Leader. This headquarters was established by Khomeini's decree in 1989 with a one-year deadline to identify and confiscate the properties of those affiliated with the former Iranian political regime. However, since 1991, with the issuance of Khamenei's decree, this headquarters has, in addition to confiscating the properties of the Pahlavi family's relatives, also confiscated the properties of Jews and all those who had emigrated abroad (without the presence or knowledge of their attorneys).

It is unfortunate to know: 

The head of the judiciary stated in a circular to judicial authorities across the country: The Executive Headquarters of the Imam's (may Allah have mercy on him) decree is the only authorized institution regarding property related to the Supreme Leader.

The text of this circular is as follows:
To judicial authorities across the country

In light of the ruling dated 2/6/68 of the Imam (may Allah have mercy on him) and the ruling dated 6/16/1368 of the Supreme Leader, and other rulings of His Highness regarding the properties in the possession of the Supreme Leader, the following is hereby announced for the courts and prosecutors to take appropriate action:

1- Given that no authorization has yet been given by the Supreme Leader for the organization for collecting and selling property mentioned in Article 3 of the Law on the Establishment of the Organization for Collecting and Selling Property and its Statute approved in 1370, the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's Decree (RA) is the only authorized institution for the property related to the Supreme Leader.

2- The assets at the disposal of the Supreme Leader include property of unknown owner, without owner, inheritance without heir, smuggled goods without owner and fugitive owner, and property deposited in free and special economic zones, abandoned and abandoned property, property and properties of missing persons, property that is at the disposal of the Supreme Leader due to the assessment and discharge from liability and the implementation of Article 49 of the Constitution and other laws.

3- The courts are obliged to investigate the property left behind by the convicts in cases subject to Article 49 of the Constitution, whose verdict has been issued in favor of other institutions, but which has not yet been identified, administered, or taken possession of, and to issue a supplementary verdict in favor of the Executive Headquarters of the Imam's (may Allah have mercy on him) Order.

Supervision of the proper implementation of this circular is the responsibility of the provincial chief justices.

Sadegh Amoli Larijani - Chief of the Judiciary

This headquarters has also played a major and fundamental role in the execution of several major entrepreneurs in the country, including Mr. Meh Afarid Khosravi.

The matter was leaked and made public in a place that no one even thought of. The issuance of an advertisement for the sale of Amir Mansour Aria Group’s properties in the Hamshahri newspaper coincided with another four-page advertisement issued by the Executive Headquarters of the Imam’s (PBUH) decree in 25 provinces of the country. This coincidence led to the media identifying the properties of Aria Group and the properties of the Executive Headquarters as one, and even the Iranian Broadcasting Corporation (IRBC) emphasized the start of the sale of Aria Group’s properties in 25 provinces. Apparently, following the publication of a confusing and incorrect news item in the Mehr News Agency and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Radio and Television, it was announced on the 30:20 program on November 5, 2013, which is also a popular program, that the properties of the convict in the 3 trillion rial case, namely Meh Afrid Amir Khosravi, have been put up for sale in 25 provinces of the country. Among the buildings shown on that program were several multi-story buildings, and the 30:20 reporter insisted on insinuating to viewers that these buildings belonged to the defendant in the 3 trillion rial case, while none of the buildings shown belonged to the Aria Group and may have been among the buildings that the Executive Headquarters had put up for sale.
Among the buildings in the Executive Headquarters advertisement, properties such as the Niagara Cinema, which belonged to the heirs of the late Fardin and the heirs of the late Ali Hatami also owned three acres of this cinema, have been introduced as assets of the Arya Group, and even a headline in one media outlet stated that Meh Afridi Khosravi was a partner in this cinema with Ali Hatami. While part of the property of this cinema belonged to the Executive Headquarters, which was advertised in row 65. Also, another property in front of the British Embassy, ​​in row 56 of the same advertisement, was introduced as Meh Afridi's property. In the 30:20 program, many properties with very high figures and prices were attributed to Meh Afridi Khosravi and the Arya Group.
In accordance with the practice of the Islamic Republic of Iran TV during the trial of the bank corruption case, which never refused to reflect even a small part of the defenses of the defendant in the case and his lawyer, it completely directed and unilaterally began to publish false and exaggerated materials and slander against the client and the Arya Group. This time, by manipulating public opinion and attributing ownership of dozens of properties in 25 provinces of the country, instead of enlightening public opinion, it is trying to mislead the people and officials from the facts. In the programs of the Islamic Republic of Iran TV, the names of the 17 thousand workers employed in the complexes managed by Meh Afrid Amir Khosravi were never mentioned. It is interesting that in an unprofessional move, the program 30:20 has tried to instill this wrong idea in the audience. Meh Afrid has spent the funds received from the banks on the purchase of urban real estate, and these funds have been taken out of the production cycle and invested in the land and housing stock market, contrary to legitimate purposes. While the proceeds of the LCs in question have been used to revive bankrupt former state-owned companies and to build and launch new production units.

And by orchestrating an emotional media game, while cleverly sidelining a successful entrepreneur and seizing his assets, they continue on this path.
