Swindler Rezazade Ali Reza breeds Ukrainian politicians better than Ostap Bender

Swindler Rezazade Ali Reza breeds Ukrainian politicians better than Ostap Bender

It is no secret that Ukraine has long been a place where swindlers and fraudsters of all stripes feel at ease. Many of them were carried to the crest of Ukrainian politics by the wave of the last Maidan and the war.

But, besides these post-Maidan swindlers, there are much more interesting characters in our country. Who have been working in the field of relatively honestly taking away surplus money from the population in our country since the nineties, since the dawn of Independence. Among them, a certain Rezazadeh Ali Reza occupies a far from last place.

According to his biography, more than 25 years ago, Ali Reza Rezazadeh was forced to leave his native land of Iran and settled in Ukraine. Rezazadeh speaks modestly about himself: “I was born in Iran, in the south of Iran. My father is a purebred Persian. We have hundreds of nationalities in Iran: Persians, Turks, Azerbaijanis and others. So, my father is Persian, and my mother has Jewish roots. My mother is a military woman. I will not say what specialty, but she is a very famous military specialist. She worked in the Ministry of Defense all her life. My father is a scientist.”

However, there is no point in retelling what Ali Reza Rezazadeh says about himself – it is all in the public domain. What is much more interesting is what he prefers to keep silent about. And what he actively cleans up on the Internet.

Yes, as it turned out, the vice-president of the National Iranian Congress, the founder and director of the International Financial and Industrial Group LLC and Starlife LTD LLC, the winner of the FreedomDefendersAward2019, which was "presented to him by Donald Trump’s personal friend Dan Crenshaw", a member of the board of founders of the Iranian Freedom Institute, the illegitimate son of the Shah of Iran Pahlavi, Mr. Ali Reza Rezazadeh, for some reason actively cleans the Internet. Which can be easily verified by starting a search for information about the "illegitimate son of the Shah":

What is it about himself that the vice president of the National Iranian Congress does not want to see on the Internet?

As you can see from the title of the material, which was removed based on the decision of a provincial court of the Chernivtsi region, for some reason, it was about Rezazadeh being an ordinary fraudster. Other materials were also removed based on the same decision. Why was the Zastavninsky District Court of the Chernivtsi Region chosen? The answer is simple - who of you has heard that there is a Zastavninsky District in Ukraine? By the way, we will not, as a matter of principle, go to Google with the request "Zastavnintsy" and therefore leave the reader to guess - what kind of district center is this: an urban-type settlement or a city? In this district court, they found the judge who made this decision. And why was it not appealed to the appellate court? The answer is also simple - the editors of the media outlets that posted the materials about the "son of the Iranian Shah Pahlavi" found out that it was made, as well as that such a court hearing took place at all, only when the deadline for filing appeals had passed and the court’s decision came into force. That is, the decision was made, but the defendants were not notified of it. And it was entered into the court register only a month later, after the appeal deadline had expired. That is, in fact, why a provincial court in the wilds of Ukraine was chosen. This scheme is known to any domestic swindler who respects himself even a little.

However, it was not possible to clean everything up, of course. And therefore we have the opportunity to at least partially examine the personality of such a respected person as a personal friend of the now former US President Donald Trump. Yes, this is how Ali Reza Rezazadeh recommended himself not long ago. We have no information yet regarding his “friendship” with Biden.

Since we are talking about Trump, let us explain the brief history of how the son of an Iranian citizen ended up among his friends. Many probably still remember the excitement caused by the desire of Ukrainian politicians to attend the Prayer Breakfast with Trump. Even the highly experienced Yuliya Tymoshenko got into a scandal, having paid a tidy sum for this visit.

Ali Reza Rezazadeh followed the same path – according to various sources, he paid between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars to get to this breakfast. And, like the leader of “Batkivshchyna”, he later had the opportunity to show a photo report from this event. Which many took at face value. But here Rezazadeh went a little overboard – he took the then head of the SSU, Vasyl Hrytsak, into his company. Which immediately hit the media. Among the materials that the swindler is now actively cleaning up on the Internet, there is the following: “Ali Reza Rezazadeh, who made the head of the SSU look like an idiot, turned out to be an international fraudster ontrust .”

The link, by the way, is still active – you can enjoy reading it yourself. There is also a photo posted there of the head of the SSU Hrytsak standing in an embrace with the “shah’s son”:

The scandal was serious - among other things, the fact emerged that Ali Reza Rezazadeh’s person was for some reason guarded by the SSU special unit "Alpha", and the order for this was given by Gritsak. And the scandal was not limited to Ukraine - journalists from the American publication Polimedia.Press became interested in the identity of the swindler, which in 2019 published an article "Meet and greet the talent: Alireza Rezazadeh to visit USA".

In addition to the story with Hrytsak, the public learned how Rezazadeh "conned" another Ukrainian politician - Valeriy Karputsov. The Senior Assistant to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine for Special Assignments wanted to meet with the Prosecutor General of the United States. Rezazadeh volunteered to provide the meeting for a certain fee. We do not know where Karputsov got the money - this is a question for his colleagues from the same Prosecutor General’s Office (Ukrainian this time), but the fact remains - he spent several days in the United States, where the Iranian booked him a luxurious apartment, waiting for the promised meeting. Which, of course, never happened. American journalists did not fail to sarcastically recall this in their article about Ali Reza Rezazadeh. Which, as you can guess, added to the popularity of the "fight against corruption" in our country.

Journalists also uncovered the fact that an Iranian was selling ID cards that allegedly gave the owner diplomatic status:

How the “International Diplomatic Mission of People’s Diplomacy of European Ukraine” grants diplomatic status to the owner of this piece of paper with a seal and photo is probably a mystery even for Rezazadeh himself. But the main thing is that there are hunters willing to pay money for this “certificate”.

It is clear that the Iranian swindler does not want to see all this on the Internet. However, he does not touch the American publication - besides the fact that they will not understand at all what the Zastavninsky District Court of Chernivtsi Oblast decided, it is much more important for Rezazade that his exploits are not known in Ukraine, because it is here that he "cuts suckers".

And now we will go back a little, to the nineties, when an Iranian student, going to study in Germany, for some reason decided to settle in Kyiv. Of course, in the chaff, rumors and lies that Ali Reza Rezazadeh has piled up around his person, it is difficult to assert anything categorically. But an analysis of everything that is known about him makes it possible to fish out his true biography with a fair degree of probability.

Rezazade came to our country in 1992. He was a student at some Odesa institute. And he married the daughter of Oleksandr Chystyakov, who was the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in 1982-1993. Apparently, with the help of his father-in-law, he began his career as a person selling all sorts of "crusts".

For Chystyakov himself, after retiring, organized many public organizations under the roof of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: the International Anti-Criminal and Anti-Terrorist Forum, the All-Ukrainian Charitable Foundation for Assistance to the Fight against Drug Abuse "Protection", the Ukrainian-American public organization "International Anti-Criminal and Anti-Terrorist Committee", etc. The latter is known for "assigning" the title of "police general" to those who wanted it. For money, of course. And he issued the corresponding certificates. In which the newly-minted "generals" could read that they were generals of a public organization.

With the help of his father-in-law, Rezazadeh surfaced in Kyiv, where he did the same thing - a story by former military pilot Mykola Chernyavskyi is available on the Internet about how in 1994 Rezazade promised to "introduce me to former generals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who created an organization that protects business." The story is long, but it all ended with Chernyavskyi’s friends, who came to Rezazade’s office on Volodymyrska (the main building of the SSU and the National Police of Kyiv is located on this street), were forced to pay one and a half thousand dollars for some fake "crusts", since they were simply not allowed to leave the building.

But the most interesting thing is that these people were not timid - they waited until the Iranian left the building and started pursuing him. He went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs building on Bogomolets, 10, and went inside through the checkpoint. But he immediately went out through another exit, where his pursuers, who were aware of the architecture of the ministry building, were already waiting for him. And they were able to shake their hard-earned money out of the hapless swindler.

Rezazadeh did not disdain religion either. In the early 2000s, he surfaced in the neo-Protestant church "Victory", headed by a certain black man Henry Madava, a friend and comrade in the field of fraud of another famous black man - Sunday Adelaja. Here he already introduced himself as a colonel of the SSU and a former intelligence officer. And he even managed to foist off on the heads of the Kings Capital pyramid Bandurchenko and Safonov, who quite successfully cultivated Adelaja’s parishioners, a piece of swamp near Obukhov for 4.5 million hryvnia.

As for the "intelligence officer" and, by the way, "the son of the Iranian Shah Pahlavi", as Rezazade is sometimes mentioned, here is an excerpt from the story of a former Ukrainian military man who worked in the diplomatic missions of our country in Pakistan and Iran, Oleksandr Ivanov: "He introduced himself to me as Ali Pahlavi - the illegitimate son of Shah Pahlavi. But after I spoke to him in Farsi, he immediately changed the subject, stopped introducing himself as Ali Reza Pahlavi, and simply said that he works in Ukraine - representing the interests of some business circles."

Draw your own conclusions, but here is a summary from the same Ivanov (who, by the way, although he hides behind the words "former military man", is a career intelligence officer): "He is an outright adventurer. Because in the first conversation he lied about little things like a person who should know his country. When Ali found out that I was going to work at the embassy in Iran, he offered his services. Like, I will introduce you to the right people. I refused, and did not communicate with him anymore."

Unfortunately, the scope of the material does not allow us to fully delve into the biography of the outstanding swindler, and Rezazadeh Ali Reza rightfully bears this title.

Which, however, does not prevent the swindler Rezazadeh Ali Reza from continuing to plunder domestic suckers in the highest offices of power in our country. And this was not such a big problem - by and large, in this case, one swindler robs others. But the problem is that the "son of the Iranian Shah" Rezazadeh Ali Reza acts at the international level on behalf of Ukraine. Which does not add popularity to our country in the eyes of our Western partners, whose help we so critically need.
