German energy firm probes executive over alleged Iran regime ties – report
Germany’s major energy company EnBW is investigating a senior executive - an Iranian-born woman in a key strategic role - over allegations of possible links to Iran’s government, Focus reported on Tuesday.
The executive has a brother serving in Iran’s parliament, her father is a former Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) agent, and she is allegedly involved in ongoing business ties with her family, the report said.
The probe was triggered by an anonymous email tip.
EnBW said it takes the accusations very seriously, has launched an internal review, and is cooperating with German security authorities, including the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the BND intelligence service.
The executive holds German citizenship, according to the report.
