More documentation of the mullah mafiosi

The Islamic Republic has turned Iran into a theocratic mafiaocracy in which the mullahs and their minions have pimped the revolution for their own financial gain. The regime has used Islamic doctrine as an ideological justification for what has become just another gangster regime.

On May 16, we reported on the existence of a list, appearing first on a CNN website, purporting to show the values of offshore bank accounts held by 1,000 senior Islamic Republic officials and family members. The balances indicate the widespread and officially sanctioned corruption typical of a gangster state along the lines of Russia, Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

Clerics, judges, military officers and Revolutionary Guards officers, Basij paramilitary officers, and others, according to the list, hold millions and sometimes billions of dollars’ worth of bank accounts offshore. Given that the account holders make their livings as recipients of zakat religious donations (in the case of clerics) and as public servants (in the cases of officials), it is apparent that the money is not from legitimate business activity, but from abuse of power.

The list on the CNN website contained the names of the individuals in Persian, and the account information in English. We have translated the names into English and added identifiers.

In our May 16 article, we discussed only the accounts reported to be held by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei (worth $36 billion) and his son, Mojtaba (worth $21 billion). Today, we list the first 100 account holders, the reported locations of their accounts, and the values attached to each. Values are listed in US dollars ($), euros (€), Australian dollars (A$), Canadian dollars (C$) and pounds sterling (£). We have not converted the currencies into a uniform value, but readers may calculate them on a currency converter widget. Below, the name of each individual is given, followed by a brief identifier of that individual, and then the name of the countries in which the accounts are held, followed by the values. As we cautioned on May 16, neither we nor CNN have been able to verify the source of this document or the accuracy of this information. We are merely furnishing it as a lead for further research, analysis and commentary:
