CA tech CEO charged with supplying Iran
Federal authorities charged 63-year-old Jamshid Ghomi with allegedly smuggling U.S. equipment to Iran’s military and nuclear programs.Prosecutors say Ghomi used front companies and falsified records to evade U.S. sanctions and export controls, laundering more than $15 million into the United States and helping finance a $35 million California mansion. Coverage by FOX 11 Los Angeles.
Despite building a custom Newport Coast mansion valued at $35 million, Ghomi reported virtually no income to the IRS, maxing out at $20,684 in a single year, and even claimed the federal Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income families across seven different tax years.
"Ghomi is accused of aiding our declared enemies by selling U.S.-origin computer networking parts to Iran and earning millions of dollars in violation of U.S. sanction laws," said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. "Our nation’s laws prohibiting doing business with one of the world’s largest state sponsors of terrorism must be enforced and obeyed. We will hold him accountable by seeking an appropriate prison sentence and by seizing his assets, including his $35 million Newport Beach mansion."
The ongoing investigation is being spearheaded by IRS Criminal Investigation and the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, with the Major Frauds Section prosecuting the case.
While the federal complaint outlines the volume of equipment smuggled—including more than 250 metric tons of networking gear between 2014 and 2018 alone—the full extent of the national security breach remains unclear.
