The principal money launderer for the Islamic Republic of Iran's sanctioned global oil sales program, REZA ZARRAB a/k/a Risa Sarraf, has finally been scheduled for sentencing in SDNY on July 14, 2026. Zarrab's case was a gentle reminder to career criminals, they are best advised not to come to the United States, to take in Walt Disney World with their families, lest they find out, alas, too late, that they have a sealed indictment pending against them.
Our extensive previous coverage of the case does not bear repeating; what we really want to know is whether Zarrab will cheat blind justice through his extensive, but private, cooperation with what can only have been one of our intelligence services, for no other government agency can take a major criminal out of custody, during his case, and give him the degree of freedom that Zarrab has enjoyed. This includes, but is not limited to, years in South Florida at a horse ranch, and the freedom to roam around Manhattan at will, unsupervised. I don't know what secrets about Iran that he disclosed, or what cooperation he engaged in, but he has evaded accountability for his many crimes thus far. Will he walk out with Time Served? Stay tuned.
