At least four members of the Secret Service have been harassed by alleged conspirators Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, according to a statement from federal prosecutors on Friday. The federations say Ali boasted of links to Pakistan’s powerful intelligence service, and his passport showed recent trips to Iran and Pakistan. Prosecutors say a tricked Secret Service agent has been assigned to take over the security details of First Lady Jill Biden. RealClearPolitics said Friday that members of the president and Harris’s figures were also involved. Secret Service agents usually alternate with different details over time, and it is unclear who they were assigned to protect when FBI agents raided an apartment building in Southeast DC late Wednesday and arrested Taherzadeh and Ali. The exact purpose of the men is not yet clear, but some worrying details are emerging. Haider Ali (above) and Arian Taherzadeh were operating in a luxury apartment building in the Navy Yard neighborhood of DC, according to federal prosecutors. Facebook was one of the alleged conspirators who claimed to be working for secret companies. FBI Taherzadeh and Ali, who operated five units in an apartment building in the Navy Yard neighborhood of DC, allegedly said they were working on covert investigations into last year’s Capitol Uprising, as well as working secretly against the gangs. They claimed to be special agents in the non-existent US Special Police Investigation Unit. The men provided gifts and free rent to Secret Service agents and at least one Homeland Security official – and even shot one of their “applicants” in the counterfeit unit with an Airsoft rifle “to assess their tolerance and reaction to pain “, according to court documents. Taherzadegh, who is not allowed to carry a weapon due to his 2013 conviction for domestic violence, spoke to investigators after his arrest this week, according to a statement from Friday requesting that he and Ali be held pending trial. The passport of the alleged conspirator Ali showed recent trips to Iran and Pakistan. FBI The men allegedly obtained passwords on all units of the building and claimed that they could monitor residents’ mobile phones. Many journalists, government officials, and members of Congress live in or near the building. “Taherzadeh said Ali had received the electronic passwords and a list of all the tenants in the apartment complex. “Taherzadeh further stated that Ali was the person who financed most of their day-to-day operations, but Taherzadeh did not know the source of the funds,” the new statement said. Authorities say they seized weapons, sniper rifles, drones, police lights, protective vests, gas masks, “breach equipment”, law enforcement insignia and equipment to create fake identities. The scandal is likely to resonate in Washington as additional details emerge. Years of aggressive oversight by Congress followed the 2012 scandal involving Secret Service agents colluding with prostitutes during a trip to Colombia by then-President Barack Obama. Authorities say Taherzadeh and Ali “endangered US Secret Service personnel (USSS) involved in security details and access to the White House complex by generously giving them gifts, including rent-free living.” A member of the Secret Service was allowed to live without rent in a penthouse costing more than $ 40,000 from February 2021 to January 2022 – while the rent of another federal law enforcement officer in the building was also covered, they say. the authorities . A court released Wednesday said Taherzadeh “provided members of the United States Secret Service (USSS) and a DHS employee with, among other things, rented apartments … iPhone, surveillance systems, a drone, a television flat screen, a case for storing assault weapon, generator and law enforcement tools “. The alleged conspirators “also offered these individuals the use of what Taherzadeh represented as ‘official government vehicles’ and allegedly offered to buy a $ 2,000 assault rifle for a US Secret Service agent who had been assigned the protective detail of the First Lady. “ The four secret service agents are currently on leave, prosecutors say. A court filing claims that Arian Taherzadeh provided Secret Service agents with a case for a gun, drones and other gifts. The FBIA court records show that the men provided the Secret Service agents with rentless apartments. FBI The stunning plot was accidentally spotted when someone attacked a mail carrier and the building’s occupants told a U.S. postal inspector that they should consult Taherzadeh and Ali. The postal inspector became suspicious and informed the Office of the Inspector General of DHS, which in turn alerted the FBI.
