Brother of Mohsen Rafiqdoust. Morteza received a life sentence for his role in a 123 trillion toman ($473 million dollar) embezzlement scandal in 1995, but his sentence was commuted after only eight years. While incarcerated, Morteza Rafiqdoust was appointed the purchasing agent for Evin Prison, which allowed him to leave the facility as he desired.

Morteza currently sits on the board of Dolatabad Trade, Construction and Technical Company (see above) and was previously a board inspector for Shafa Teb Naman, where his son Alireza Raqfiqdoust was an alternative inspector.

According to public records, Shafa Teb Naman is in the business of “opening and managing elective surgery centers, opening and managing plastic surgery clinics, procuring hospital, lab, surgical and OR equipment, and drugs and implements used in plastic surgery,” as well as “the technical supervision and execution of anything pertaining to the construction, interior design, exterior design, and green spaces of residential and commercial buildings, government organizations,” and “import-export of all permissible products.”

Alireza Rafiqdoust was also a founding member and vice chairman of the board of Samim Tadbir Parsa, an import-export company that “designs, produces, procures, distributes and sells kitchen equipment.”

Morteza’s wife, Zahra Mohtashamipour, and his other son, Hamidreza, were both on the board of Rahavard Samim Co., which “procures, distributes and produces kitchenware, fruits and vegetables, import-export of any and all permissible products and . . . participates in domestic and international seminars.” Hamidreza, who was the board chairman, later became the company’s dissolution manager.

Zahra Mohtashamipour was also an executive with Nik Padideh Yas Co., which “produces and distributes bedspreads.”
