Investigate Mahmoud Reza Khavari: No Safe Haven for Corrupt Officials in Canada!


Investigate Mahmoud Reza Khavari: No Safe Haven for Corrupt Officials in Canada!
The Issue
Mahmoud Reza Khavari, a fugitive banker from Iran, was implicated in a $2.6 billion fraud scandal but has been living freely in Canada since 2011. Despite being under an Interpol Red Notice, Canadian authorities have failed to take any action against him.

Khavari has laundered millions through real estate in Toronto, including:
- A mansion in the Bridle Path, purchased for over $3 million. ([Eurasia Review](https://www.eurasiareview.com/04102011-iranian-banker-involved-in-massive-embezzlement-case-has-3-million-toronto-home/
- Real estate investments through Soaring Properties and other front companies. ([Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-17/an-iranian-fugitive-toronto-property-mogul-and-a-deal-gone-awry
- Additional properties exceeding $12 million, linked to his family. ([Jerusalem Post](https://www.jpost.com/opinion/op-ed-contributors/irans-mystery-banker-in-canada

### Why This Matters
This is not an isolated case—Canada has become a safe haven for corrupt foreign officials who launder stolen money while victims of financial crimes suffer. Khavari is just one example of how weak anti-money laundering laws allow financial criminals to hide their stolen wealth in Canada with impunity.
### We Demand Action From the Canadian Government
1. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and RCMP must investigate Khavari for tax fraud and money laundering.
2. The Canadian government must freeze Khavari’s assets under anti-money laundering laws.
3. Stronger laws must be introduced to prevent Canada from sheltering corrupt foreign elites.
### Call to Action
Enough is enough! Canadians deserve a justice system that upholds accountability, not one that protects financial criminals. Sign this petition to demand action now!
