Zargar stated that the Statement of Account referred to an
agreement between the parties in 1976 solely for the purpose of
preventing the revolutionary organizations from taking control of
GMS’s property. Mr. Zargar pleaded that Ammareh be “prosecuted
for misuse of billions of rials of * * * [petitioner’s] assets”.
On January 16, 1993, Mr. Zargar sent petitioner a letter
summarizing the latest events. The Tehran Public Prosecutor’s
office released the criminal case file because they thought that
it was more of a civil matter. The case was transferred to the
Abadan8 Public Prosecutor’s office, where it was examined. This
office summoned Ammareh to come in and produce his assets, but he
did not comply, and he was arrested and placed in jail. It is
not clear what next happened with respect to the case.
In 1996, Bahman filed a declaration with the Ministry of
Justice of the Islamic Republic of Iran to discharge and expel
powers of attorney held by Ammareh with respect to GMS. The
complaint further directed Ammareh to return all documents
related to GMS within 48 hours of receipt of the complaint.
Ammareh filed a response to the complaint and stated that all
interests, shares, benefits, and ownership of GMS had gradually
been transferred to him. Therefore, petitioner could not make
any demands of Ammareh since he no longer had any interest in the
business.
8 Abadan is a city located near Khorramshahr.
