Khamenei’s Son Owns Properties Worth 100 million Pounds in North London

-

The son of Iran’s regime leader has created a global real estate empire with the help of Ali Ansari. Records from the UK Land Registry show that the properties located on Bishops Avenue were all purchased together in 2013 for 73 million pounds

Reports indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s regime leader Ali Khamenei, owns multiple luxury mansions in the United Kingdom worth more than 100 million pounds.

According to the Daily Mail, Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, who is considered one of the potential successors to the leader of Iran’s regime, owns 11 properties on Bishops Avenue in the Hampstead area of north London, an extremely affluent street known as Billionaires’ Row.

Mojtaba Khamenei holds these properties through a network of shell companies, one of which is registered in the Isle of Man, a well-known offshore financial jurisdiction. The company Birch Ventures Limited does not list Mojtaba Khamenei as a director or owner, but identifies Ali Ansari, the owner of the now-bankrupt Ayandeh Bank, as the ultimate beneficial owner.

Ali Ansari, who is said to have close ties to the Khamenei family, was sanctioned by the UK Treasury in October. He is accused of financing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an entity that has played a role in the killing of protesters during recent nationwide demonstrations, in which thousands of Iranian citizens were killed.

The UK Treasury’s sanctions statement did not make any direct reference to a connection between Mojtaba Khamenei and Ali Ansari.

Bloomberg News has spoken with sources and reviewed documents linking the London properties to Mojtaba Khamenei, who is said to have built a global real estate empire with the assistance of Ali Ansari. UK Land Registry records show that the properties on Bishops Avenue were all purchased together in 2013 for 73 million pounds and are now estimated to be worth more than 100 million pounds.
