Reza Zarrab (Persian: رضا ضراب, Turkish: Rıza Sarraf;[4] born 12 September 1983 in Tabriz, Iran) is a Turkey-based businessman. He has triple Iranian,[2] Azerbaijani,[3] and Turkish citizenship,[2] while also holding a Macedonian passport.[5][6]
On 19 March 2016 he was arrested in the United States and accused of[7] being a member of international criminal organization. He was charged with evading the US sanctions on Iran and money laundering[2] in an alleged racket scheme to help Iran bypass the sanctions, involving ministers of the Turkish government of then prime minister and now president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[8][9]
His father, Hossein Zarrab, had close relationship with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,[10] who served as the President of Iran between 2005 and 2013 and activated Iran's nuclear program.[11][12] The U.S. Department of Treasury accused Hossein Zarrab for violating U.S. sanctions on Iran and slapped a $9.1 million fine on him. His fine reduced to $2.3 million following his colloboration with the U.S. officials.[13]
Zarrab was arrested by FBI in Miami in the US on March 19, 2016 and accused of the bank fraud, money laundering and helping the Iranian government evade the US economic sanctions on Iran to hinder its nuclear-weapons program. His charges; conspiracy to defraud, violate the IEEPA, money laundering, and the bank fraud; could bring up to 70 years in prison if found guilty in U.S. Federal Court.[14]
The investigation has been overwhelmingly covered by the international media. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, head of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), emphasized the corrupt relationship between Erdogan and Zarrab and stated that “all the dirty laundry will come out. [...] Many people won’t sleep a wink tonight.”[15]
