According to public statements. made in the press by Skerrit lawyer Anthony Astaphan, who apparently also represents Dominica's CBI program, on January 20, 2016, Dominica cancelled and revoked Arireza Monfared's diplomatic passport, when it reportedly "discovered" his global criminal activities. A copy of the cancelled passport was widely distributed; it appears above.

So why on earth did Dominica, on January 26, 2016, reissue a Dominica CBI passport for Ziba Monfared, Alireza's son ? The scandal, over Monfared's INTERPOL Red Notice, wanted for stealing billions of dollars from Iran's oil sales, with his partners, Babak Zanjani and Reza Zarrab, was already published old news. There was not that any due diligence search would approve the reissue of the passport.

(Reissued passport, AFTER the scandal broke in Dominica)
Abuses like these may soon make every passport, issued by Dominica, a reason to be suspicious, when presented at customs and immigration desks, both in North America,and in Europe.
