Investigation into Reza Zarrab’s Lavish Life and New Business in Miami

Infamous Turkish-Iranian money launderer Reza Zarrab, facing 130 years in prison, took a plea deal in 2017 to testify in U.S. courts. However, an investigation by OCCRP, Law&Crime, and the Miami Herald has revealed that Zarrab continues to be connected to his criminal network and has received questionable wire transfers from Turkey. Using fake identities, he has invested in thoroughbred horses and a lavish equestrian facility in Miami, entering an industry known for fraud and money laundering.

Living a life of luxury under a false identity in Miami, Zarrab has been observed pacing the parking lot of his luxury condo, talking loudly on his cell phone in Turkish. He has also been seen investing in high-end properties and engaging in horse racing activities.

Despite his plea deal, concerns have been raised about Zarrab’s activities and the possibility that he has not surrendered any of his fortune. U.S. officials have declined to comment on the matter, raising questions about the handling of the case and potential political interference.

Zarrab’s connections to his old criminal network, including key members of his inner circle, have also been uncovered. Financial records suggest that Zarrab’s Florida lifestyle and horse business are being financed by international wire transfers from dubious sources in Turkey.

The investigation further reveals Zarrab’s attempts to conceal his true identity, using aliases and false names to conduct business and engage in personal relationships. Despite efforts to hide, Zarrab’s true identity and connections have been exposed through public records and investigative efforts.

As Zarrab continues to live a life of luxury in Miami, questions remain about the legality of his activities and the potential implications for ongoing legal proceedings. The investigation sheds light on the complex web of financial transactions and connections that continue to surround the notorious money launderer.
