WHO is Hassan Saffarian-Nasab?

Apparantly he is an Iranian bussiness manby the name of Mr Hassan Saffarian Nasab exported $18,000,000,000 of his money in the form of cash and gold to Turkey legally and submitted it to the Ankara customs on October 7, 2008.
The 18.5 billion dollar shipment was revealed when a Turkish television channel broadcasted a report announcing that Iranian businessman Hassan Saffarian-Nasab is attempting to release his capital from the Turkish customs. Speaking to the Turkish television channel, Senul Ozal, who represents the Iranian businessman, said, “Saffarian-Nasab transferred the cash and gold to Turkey legally and submitted it to the Ankara customs on October 7, 2008. This Turkish lawyer noted that the huge sum was transferred to Turkey by ground cargo, adding, “The cargo contained 7.5 billion dollars in cash and 11 billion dollars in gold.”

This Turkish lawyer also claimed that “Saffarian-Nasab will travel to Ankara in the near future to speak with Turkish officials.” After similar reports surfaced on other Turkish channels and outlets, Durmus Yilmaz, head of Turkey’s central bank denied the reports without providing any explanations in an interview with the Turkish Vatan daily.

Denials by Iranian and Turkish officials are issued after Recep Tayyip Erdogan noted the discovery of the same sum in the closing months last year during a public ceremony. He said, “Turkey’s God is great, it injected 18.5 billion dollars into the Turkish economy in these hard economic times.” Though the Turkish prime minister did not clarify the source or nature of that injection, with the revelation of the banned Iranian gold and cash shipment, many now believe that the Turkish prime minister was referring to the same money.
