Slain Iranian Official’s Sons Hold $29M in Dubai Property Using Assumed Names

Reporters allege that the Shamkhani brothers used Dominica passport aliases (‘Hugo Hayek’ and ‘Sami Hayek’) to purchase luxury villas in Dubai and to register corporate interests, including shares in a Turkish firm and ties to Milavous Group; those entities were later sanctioned by OFAC, the EU, and the U.K. over allegations of arranging and concealing sales of Iranian and Russian oil and laundering proceeds, while U.S. civil forfeiture complaints and sanctions cite related corporate holdings and denials from Hossein Shamkhani.
