A year-old investigation claims that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Iran’s Supreme Leader, is connected to a web of shell companies and intermediaries holding real estate and investments outside Iran — from London and Frankfurt to Dubai — with the assets not registered directly in his name.
The report says businessman Ali Ansari appears as a key figure in parts of the corporate structures involved. Separately, Ansari has been reported as building a European property portfolio valued at around €400 million, and assets tied to him in London worth more than £150 million were frozen following sanctions.
How much of that is connected to Khamenei’s son — and whether there are additional, unknown holdings — remains unclear.
