This is just the tip of the iceberg.<br \/>\n\u201cThe embezzlements in the first six months of this year has increased by 61% in terms of cases, 94% in terms of the number of defendants and 333% in terms of value in Rials compared to the first six months of last year,\u201d Moghimi said, according to Etemad daily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Etemad also acknowledged that since \u201cthis security official spoke about the \u2018discoveries\u2019 of corruption and all kinds of organizational violations, we can conclude that this is only the \u2018tip of the iceberg\u2019 of such cases, and we should use probably larger numbers to find out the true extent of them.\u201d<br \/>\nBut who is behind this \u201corganized corruption and embezzlement\u201d that have plagued Iran\u2019s economy?<br \/>\n\u201cPeople who engage in large-scale embezzlement have a lot of influence, and because of their political influence, they can easily deal with people who hinder their activities and even challenge the media,\u201d Etemad wrote in this regard, acknowledging all corruption cases finally get to the regime\u2019s top officials.<br \/>\nThe Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, controls Iran\u2019s vast financial resources through its financial institutions, front companies, and the Revolutionary Guards<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> (IRGC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cIn our country, there are four institutions which control 60 percent of the national wealth. This includes Executive Headquarters of Imam\u2019s Directive (Setad Ejraie Farman Imam), Khatam-al-Anbiay Base, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/the-role-of-astan-e-quds-razavi-a-key-religious-foundation-in-iranian-regime-s-terrorism-extremist-policies-and-recruitment-of-western-spies\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Astan-e Quds<\/a>, and Foundation of the Oppressed and Disabled. None of these institutions are connected with the government and parliament,\u201d said Behzad Nabavi, a government minister in several administrations, on September 21, 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Setareh Sobh daily on Monday confirmed this fact by acknowledging that according to the \u201cresults of a statistical study conducted at the Statistics Research Institute show that half of Iran\u2019s markets are owned exclusively by one or more companies, and these companies have affected small businesses through corruption. According to economic theories, market monopolies are the primary cause of widespread economic corruption.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Javan daily, an outlet linked to the IRGC on Monday, acknowledged that these corruptions result from \u201ceconomic and social situations. Thus, the corruption is constantly being reproduced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Meanwhile, the IRGC dominates a large part of Iran\u2019s economy. The IRGC\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters is Iran\u2019s largest construction conglomerate. It began as a contractor of industrial and construction projects in 1989. In its charter, the most important goal of the complex is to \u201cefficiently utilize the available construction and economic resources, capacities and talents of the IRGC to continue the Islamic Revolution.\u201d<br \/>\nRecently, the head of Tehran\u2019s City Council, who is close to Khamenei and the IRGC, announced their intention of handing over Tehran City\u2019s project to Khatam al-Anbiya.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cOur effort is to complete the semi-finished projects and provide the necessary funding. Considering the capacity of Khatam al-Anbiya HQ in implementing projects and mega projects, Tehran Municipality has a great desire to hand over these projects to it,\u201d said Mehdi Chamran, head of Tehran\u2019s City Council on Monday.<br \/>\nAs a result of the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption, Iranians cannot make ends meet. \u201cAccording to the head of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, unfortunately, global statistics show that Iran is in the list of 10 countries with the highest inflation growth rate,\u201d wrote the state-run Setareh Sobh on October 4.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cSurveys show that the number of poor people has almost doubled from 2012 to 2019. During this period, 4 million people have been added to the number of poor, and the poverty line has increased from 6.4% to more than 12%,\u201d the state-run Donyay-e Eghtesad wrote on Monday.<br \/>\nInstead of addressing Iran\u2019s economic crises, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/who-is-ebrahim-raisi-ncr-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Raisi<\/a> has only been giving hollow promises of combating corruption. He could not, as he is corrupted to the bone. Raisi was Astan-e Quds Razavi\u2019s caretaker for three years before becoming the regime\u2019s judiciary chief. He did not act to curb corruption while acting as the regime\u2019s judiciary chief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nRaisi\u2019s minister of Urban and Roads Development, Rostam Ghasemi, was Khatam al-Anbiya\u2019s commander for 12 years. He is well-known for his role in Iran\u2019s largest corruption case in the early 2010s.<br \/>\nAbove all, Raisi and his government are handpicked by Khamenei, who is at the top of Iran\u2019s hierarchy of corruption.<br \/>\n\u201cIt has been two months since the government began its work. If [Raisi] does not formulate his plans and policies and wants to confront the people as much as the messages, we will naturally face problems,\u201d wrote the state-run ILNA News Agency on Monday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cWhy didn\u2019t Raisi make an effective effort to reduce the people\u2019s livelihood problems in the short term, and in the current situation, the prices of basic goods are still on the rise?\u201d Arman daily further underlined Raisi\u2019s inability to solve Iran\u2019s economic problems.<br \/>\nRaisi has recently ordered prices to remain steady. According to the state-run Arman daily on Monday, if Raisi\u2019s government \u201cwants to mandatory control prices, it will stop production. If the government wants to control prices, it must control inflation. To control inflation, they must use the central bank\u2019s policies and prevent the central bank from compensating the budget deficit [by banknote printing].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is the only way they can control inflation. The government can\u2019t manage the market by giving orders. This policy has repeatedly failed in recent years.\u201d<br \/>\nThe regime\u2019s corruption and inability to address Iran\u2019s economic crises have increased society\u2019s restiveness.<br \/>\n\u201cIf the cost of living and the problems we have seen in recent times continue, in the coming months, we will face popular protests due to the living and economic problems,\u201d wrote the state-run ILNA News Agency on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe effect of corruption is not limited to the economy. It will have destructive social consequences [for the regime,\u201d Javan daily warned on Monday.<br \/>\nThese fears are not unfounded as the Iranian people continue their protests and underline that \u201conly on streets we can get our rights.\u201d<br \/>\nThe International community should realize that giving any incentive financial package to the regime would only be lost in the black hole of corruption or be used by the regime to fund terrorism.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-246866 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png 250w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1-150x50.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, Mohammad Reza Moghimi, head of the Economic Security Police, acknowledged a sharp increase in embezzlement and bribery in the first six months of the current Persian Year of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":246799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,10,4],"tags":[129,229],"class_list":{"0":"post-248430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-economy","9":"category-anews","10":"tag-iran","11":"tag-irans-economy"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
