Inside the Luxury Villa of Rahimi Darabad, the First-Degree Defendant in the Chai Dabesh Case

Chapter 4: The Villa’s Acquisition and Legal Proceedings

Financial Background

Sources of funding for the villa include legitimate business earnings and, allegedly, proceeds from illicit activities. Financial irregularities were flagged during investigations, with several bank accounts linked to Darabad showing suspicious transactions.

Transfer of Ownership

The villa was reportedly transferred to an employee or associate to conceal true ownership, a common tactic in asset laundering. Court orders have since led to the seizure and confiscation of the property.

Court Actions

The judicial authorities initiated proceedings based on evidence of corruption and money laundering. Court documents reveal detailed investigations into asset origins, with the villa being a central piece of evidence.
