Latest Developments in the Case of Pejman Jamshidi

The spokesman for the Judiciary has provided new information regarding the case of Pejman Jamshidi in response to Rokna’s reporter.

Jahangir, speaking about the progress of this case, stated: “The investigations are still ongoing. So far, several informed individuals have been summoned and questioned in connection with the case. All their statements have been recorded in the file, and the proceedings are being followed up.”

When Rokna’s reporter referred to Jamshidi’s presence abroad and asked whether he is currently banned from leaving the country, the Judiciary spokesman replied: “At this time, I have no information on this matter, but I will follow it up.

Latest Status of Babak Zanjani’s Case and the Two-Month Grace Period Granted to Him

The Judiciary spokesman also spoke about the status of Babak Zanjani’s case and the two-month grace period that has been granted to him, saying: “The case of Babak Zanjani had previously been fully examined, and the necessary actions were taken through the transfer of his assets to the National Iranian Oil Company.”

He added: “Part of the assets have been registered under the name of the National Iranian Oil Company, and another part has been placed under the company’s supervision — including a shipment that was imported into the country with expert approval and was supposed to be sold to offset Zanjani’s debts.”

He continued: “Given the special conditions of the country and the sanctions, the National Iranian Oil Company was currently unable to sell or use this shipment (a precious metal). Therefore, the company reached an agreement with Zanjani, under which he must deposit the amount of his debt into the accounts of the Central Bank or the National Iranian Oil Company within two months. In that case, the seized assets and the consigned shipment held by the Central Bank will be returned to him.”

The Judiciary spokesman emphasized: “This agreement does not mean that the court ruling has not been enforced. The ruling had already been implemented, but due to the difficulties in selling the shipment, a new mechanism was proposed for returning the assets and completing the cash settlement, which is currently being pursued. The date of the agreement between the National Iranian Oil Company and Babak Zanjani was October 27, 2025. Given the circumstances, the Oil Company has agreed with him to retrieve its assets and have the debt amount paid in cash into the specified accounts within two months.”
