Jamshid Ghomi, a dual US-Iranian national and CEO of Faraz Pardaz Rayaneh Co. Ltd., was arrested for allegedly violating US sanctions by supplying sophisticated US-origin technology to Iran. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California has charged him with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Ghomi is accused of facilitating the shipment of over 250 metric tons of computer networking equipment to Iranian military and nuclear entities from 2011 to 2023. His company reportedly generated annual sales exceeding $10 million, servicing clients such as the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and the Ministry of Defense. Ghomi laundered more than $15 million into the US, misrepresenting it as foreign inheritance, and utilized front companies to disguise his illegal activities. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and the seizure of his assets, including a $35 million mansion in Newport Beach, California. The investigation is ongoing, with the IRS Criminal Investigation and the Department of Commerce involved.
