Saeed Karimian
Saeed Karimian, an Iranian businessman who founded Emirati-based Gem Tv, was recently assassinated. His death has sparked a firestorm of controversy and speculation about the motive behind his killing. According to Iranian media, Karimian borrowed money from “dangerous investors” to prop up the struggling satellite channel. But this money, it is claimed, was then used for personal investments in Turkey.
In 2012, the regime began harassing Karimian and his family. The regime seized family businesses and arrested Karimian’s siblings. It also urged him to shut down the channel. But the content of the shows upset the regime leadership. The network’s Persian-language channels were dubbed, and the translators went into exile in Malaysia and Turkey.
Karimian was the founder of GEM TV, a popular Persian satellite television channel that broadcasts dubbed Western programs into Iranian homes. In March 2017, Karimian and a Kuwaiti business partner were shot and killed in Istanbul. The gunmen were driving a jeep and stopped Karimian’s car before opening fire. The assailants fled the scene in another vehicle. Turkish police are investigating the attack.
