An Iranian man who federal prosecutors say operates a criminal network that targets dissidents and activists abroad has been charged alongside a pair of Canadians with plotting to kill two people, including a defector from Iran, who had fled to the United States.
The criminal case unsealed Monday is part of what Justice Department officials have described as a troubling trend of transnational repression, in which operatives from countries including Iran and China single out dissidents and defectors for campaigns of harassment, intimidation and sometimes violence.
In this case, prosecutors say, Naji Sharifi Zindashti conspired with two Canadian men between December 2020 and March 2021 to kill two Maryland residents. The intended victims of the murder-for-hire plot were not identified in an indictment, but prosecutors described them as having fled to the United States after one of them had defected from Iran.
The plot was ultimately disrupted, the Justice Department said.
"To those in Iran who plot murders on U.S. soil and the criminal actors who work with them, let today’s charges send a clear message: the Department of Justice will pursue you as long as it takes — and wherever you are — and deliver justice,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen, the Justice Department's top national security official, said in a statement.
Prosecutors say Ryan and Pearson are currently imprisoned in Canada on unrelated charges, while Zindashti currently resides in Iran.
The Treasury Department said Zindashti is a narcotics trafficker and leader of a network that operates “at the behest of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security”.
His network has reportedly been responsible for murders in countries including the United Arab Emirates, Canada, and Turkey.
“Zindashti’s network has carried out numerous acts of transnational repression, including assassinations and kidnappings across multiple jurisdictions, in an attempt to silence the Iranian regime’s perceived critics. The network has also plotted operations in the United States,” the Treasury Department said in a statement.
The US and UK governments announced joint measures against Zindashti’s ring on Monday.
“To those in Iran who plot murders on US soil and the criminal actors who work with them, let today’s charges send a clear message: the Department of Justice will pursue you as long as it takes – and wherever you are – and deliver justice,” the assistant attorney general Matthew Olsen, of the justice department’s national security division, said.
