Ghalibaf family’s Australian links detailed in Guardian report
Guardian Australia reported that Ghalibaf and his son had links to a research center at the University of Melbourne and that rental income from at least one Australian investment property was collected by his son, Eshagh Ghalibaf.
The report also said Eshagh Ghalibaf secured long-term Australian residency despite Canada twice rejecting his visa applications over concerns related to the Iranian regime.
The revelations are likely to raise questions about Australia’s handling of sanctions involving current and former IRGC-linked figures and their families.
Ghalibaf, a former Revolutionary Guards air force commander and police chief, has never been sanctioned by Australia, unlike in Canada.
