Iranian Hossein Karimi coordinated his drug empire from Romania in the past 15 years. The “business” brought him revenues of hundreds of millions of Euro.
He accumulated a vast wealth through the tons of heroin he provided for the “markets” of Europe, Asia ands North-America.
He coordinated for years a network formed hundred of people of various citizenships, controlling everything, from opium cultures in Afghanistan and heroin production labs in Iran, to worldwide distribution networks.
Hossein Karimi, currently deemed as the biggest drug lord In the world, conducted his last 15 years of business from Romania.
Karimi had the perfect cover: although a ruthless leader who employed torture to punish insubordination, he acted as a simple, funny, appreciated and respected man for his neighbors who never suspected a thing.
Bucharest authorities reached Karimi after a difficult joint-investigation with anti-drug officers from US, Holland, Turkey, Great Britain and Germany.
The team was coordinated by US General Attorney.
