Raisi's Corrupt Rule of Imam Reza's Religious/Commercial Conglomerate
Ebrahim Raisi oversaw Astan Quds Razavi from February 2016 to March
2020. This institution, often referred to as the financial empire of the
leader of the Islamic Republic, is known for its vast but opaque
economic and financial activities, which are not subject to independent
oversight.
Astan Quds Razavi's financial network, shrouded in secrecy, dominates
its substantial revenues.
It leverages state resources in sectors ranging from oil and gas to
pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and car manufacturing. Despite this
significant income, during his presidency, Raisi opted to increase taxes
on workers, employees, and businesses by 50 to 70 per cent to address
the government budget deficit.
However, he did not advocate for taxing Astan Quds Razavi.
The leadership of Astan Quds Razavi in Mashhad has been characterized by
claims of superficiality and showmanship, with assertions of increasing
profitability, suspension of construction activities, political
maneuvering, and the use of financial and credit resources for election
campaigns. There has also been a tendency to deflect and project in
response to questions and criticisms. Before the 1979 revolution, Astan
Quds Razavi's activities were limited to collecting offerings from the
public and distributing them among the needy. Its endowment properties
were mostly the land surrounding the tomb of the 8th Shia Imam and some
nearby shops. However, after the revolution, Astan Quds Razavi's
operations expanded significantly, transforming it into the largest waqf
collection in the Islamic world. Its growth in endowment properties and
economic activities has earned it the title of the financial empire of
Astan Quds, with a turnover reaching billions of dollars. Astan Quds
Razavi is now active in various economic sectors, including civil and
construction, finance and trade, agriculture and animal husbandry, food
and medicine, industry and mining, automotive, energy and oil and gas,
information and communication technology, education, culture and media,
and pharmaceuticals. More than half of the land in Mashhad is owned by
Astan Quds and is leased out, with a significant portion of transaction
prices from property sales going to the institution. Its endowment
properties are not limited to Mashhad; they are spread across Khorasan
Razavi, North and South Khorasan, Tehran, Qazvin, East and West
Azarbaijan, Isfahan, Yazd, Kerman, Mazandaran, Fars, Golestan, Gilan,
Semnan, Khuzestan, as well as in Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.
According to the latest statistics, Astan Quds has over 350,000 tenants
in Mashhad alone.
The issue of Astan Quds Razavi's tax obligations has been a point of
contention. Critics argue that, given its extensive use of government
facilities and preferential currency, it should be required to pay taxes
on its significant earnings from factories, companies, affiliated
institutions, and agricultural holdings. Despite its substantial
profits, the institution has faced criticism for not paying taxes, which
is seen as an unjust advantage.
Ebrahim Raisi responded to criticisms by asserting, <They don't tax
people's donations.> As the eighth president of the Islamic Republic,
Raisi is known for raising the tax rate in budget bills. He presented a
controversial justification for Astan Quds's tax exemption, stating, <We
are helping the poor with 10 times the money we are going to pay in
taxes.> In a speech at Mashhad University, he added, <God forbids those
who created the doubt of the Astan Quds tax in their minds.>
Instrumental and Political Use of Religious Figures
Critics have accused Raisi of using the 8th Imam of the Shia for
political purposes, citing actions such as the distribution of free bags
of flour and rice from Astan Quds in villages during elections. Some
claim that tens of billions were extravagantly spent on election
campaigns from Astan Quds funds. Raisi has denied these accusations.
Claims of Profitability in Astan Quds Razavi
Raisi has repeatedly claimed to have turned loss-making companies within
Astan Quds into profitable entities, increasing work efficiency and
profitability. However, without access to Astan Quds's financial
statements, which are not subject to any auditing body, it is difficult
to verify these claims. On the contrary, the increase in Astan Quds's
debt to the banking network and the decrease in income from affiliated
companies suggest the opposite of Raisi's assertions.
Special Private Protection Unit
Raisi established the Astan Quds Razavi property protection unit, an
independent police force, arguing that the property and endowment places
were being stolen by malicious individuals. This force, which operates
independently of other military organs, has been perceived as a private
army for Astan Quds Razavi. The autonomy and power of Astan Quds
guardians have caused dissatisfaction, particularly in Mashhad. This
power extends to canceling and preventing concerts and film screenings
in Khorasan provinces, even those officially licensed by the government
or the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Notable cancellations
include Salar Aghili's concert in Sabzevar and the prevention of Shahram
Nazari and Kihan Kalhor's concert in Neishabur.
Private TV Channel for Astan Quds Razavi
As the head of Astan Quds Razavi, Raisi initiated the launch of the <Haram
Razavi> television channel, dedicated to broadcasting live images of the
tomb of the 8th Shia Imam continuously. This move aimed to enhance the
religious and cultural influence of Astan Quds. In addition to the TV
channel, Raisi also established a comprehensive public communication
service center and launched the national 138 telephone system to
facilitate public engagement with Astan Quds.
Attempts to Establish a Private Bank
Raisi planned to establish a private bank for Astan Quds Razavi.
The objective was to create a financial institution where the financial
transactions of affiliated companies or sub-groups of Astan Quds Razavi
could not be monitored or investigated.
However, he failed to realize this plan.
Five months after assuming the presidency, Raisi criticized the
government's lack of cooperation, stating: <Today, the ground has been
laid for the establishment of an usury-free bank.>
Financial Corruption Scandals
Despite Raisi's anti-corruption stance, Astan Quds Razavi was embroiled
in a financial scandal. Earlier this year, documents revealed a $22
million embezzlement related to the import of car tyres. In 2019,
Razavi's supply chain management paid $80 million in government currency
for importing 200,000 tyres, but there was a $22 million deficit. The
individuals involved in this embezzlement have since been appointed to
various positions in Raisi's government. For instance, Alireza Peyman
Pak, who was the manager of the Razavi supply chain company, acquired
key positions in the government and currently oversees its
executive-economic management.
Governance and Taxation Contradictions
Comparing Raisi's administration of Astan Quds Razavi with his
presidency reveals similarities in his governance style. The most
notable contradiction is his stance on taxation. While his government
collects taxes from the public, Astan Quds Razavi remains resistant to
tax collection.>>
