| Info | Ali Fallahian, (Persian: علی فلاحیان, born 1945) is an Iranian politician and cleric.
Fallahian was born in Najafabad, Iran, in 1945.
Fallahian served as a member of the 3rd Assembly of Experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran and as the Minister of Intelligence of Islamic Republic of Iran in cabinet of President Hashemi Rafsanjani. In 1987, he was appointed by Ruhollah Khomeini as chief prosecutor of the Special Court for the Clergy and led the trial against Mehdi Hashemi.
Fallahian is currently on the official Wanted list of Interpol in connection with the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed 85 people. In addition, he was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued in 1997 in connection with the murder of three Kurdish Iranian opposition leaders in the Mykonos restaurant assassinations. He was also named by investigative reporter Akbar Ganji as the "master key" of the 1998 "Chain Murders" of four dissident Iranian intellectuals.
Fallahian is under an international warrant issued in 1996 by German court because of his role in the Mykonos restaurant assassinations. Sadeq Sharafkandi from Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran and 3 of his colleagues were assassinated September, 1992 in Berlin, by Iranian-Lebanese agents. Fallahian was also the most prominent member of a group of five Iranians and Lebanese for whom international arrest warrants issued in March 2007. They were identified as the principal conspirators in the Bombing of the Jewish community building in Buenos Aires in July 1994, which killed 85 people.
Ali Fallahian is also charged by a Swiss court with masterminding the assassination of Kazem Rajavi, a brother of Mujahedin-e Khalq leader Massoud Rajavi, near Geneva in broad daylight by several agents on 24 April 1990. An international arrest warrant has been issued against him and as a result, he is unable to leave the country.
