Within the past month, the news of issuing two different verdicts from two different courts, but regarding the same case with the same charges and defendants, was going to become a news bomb, but unfortunately, in the midst of the news of the terrible flood events in the country on the one hand and calling the Revolutionary Guards terrorist on the other hand, it received attention. Public opinion was not included and people, media and even experts ignored it in the frenzy of news.
The news was related to the rulings of the case known as the missing oil rig, in which nearly 90 million dollars (amounting to 1170 billion tomans) of the property of the Iranian people was embezzled by the four main defendants in this case and went missing. It became a media.
At the end of March 2017, a court in England heard Iran’s complaint against the mast seller company and convicted Ali Taheri Mutlaq, the former head of the Marine Facilities Company, Murad Shirani, and Omar Kamel Al-Savieh (a citizen of the UAE) for participating in the fraud and paying 87 million dollars and Seyed Reza Mustafavi Tabatabai accused the fourth defendant of the crime of receiving bribes from these defendants to pay 3 million dollars of the stolen property of the Iranian people and ordered that the defendants should return the funds received for this unexecuted contract to Iran, interestingly, the documents that this court He had received from Omar Kamel Al-Souye and his lawyers, it showed that Seyed Reza Mostafavi Tabatabai spent part of the received bribe on investing in the wine factory and spent the other part on Trump’s election campaign!! However, the British court ruled that the entire property should be returned to the people of Iran.
In Iran, however, after a two-year break, the trial court finally sentenced Ali Taheri Mutlaq and Seyed Reza Mostafavi to three years in prison on April 18, 2018!! And Murad Shirani was sentenced to six months in prison and ruled that Murad Shirani can even be released after taking into account the detention period. The one who signed the purchase and sale contract of the rig outside of Iran is acquitted!!! and in the issued verdict, there is absolutely no reference to the return of the looted and plundered property of the Iranian nation, the bitter irony of the story is that the defendants’ defense lawyers objected to the verdict of their first court in Iran!! have done
Now, considering that at least three Iranian defendants in this case are under the jurisdiction of the judiciary and are imprisoned in Iran, and the main case is about looting *1170 billion Tomans* of the stolen property of the Iranian people, the judgments of two Iranian and British courts regarding these defendants Compare, *and find orange sales*
