It has been claimed that there will be a Netflix documentary about the life of Reza Zarrab, who violated the U.S. embargo against Iran and later became a whistleblower. However, Netflix officials stated that there are no such plans either domestically or internationally.
Reza Zarrab, who became a whistleblower and was released after being arrested for allegedly violating the U.S. embargo against Iran, is said to have his life turned into a documentary series on Netflix. Journalist Serdar Cebe claimed that Zarrab reached an agreement with Netflix after changing his name to Aaron Goldsmith.
NETFLIX DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS
However, Netflix sources stated in a statement to Haberler.com that they denied the allegations, stating that "there is no such plan either domestically or internationally."
WHO IS REZA ZARRAB?
Born in 1983, Zarrab of Iranian descent spent his childhood in Turkey. Educated in Azerbaijan, Zarrab entered into trade at a young age. The businessman, who came into the media spotlight with his marriage to singer Ebru Gündeş and the luxury gifts he received, was arrested in the corruption and bribery operation in 2013 but was released shortly after.
Arrested in the U.S. in 2016, Zarrab was tried as a defendant in the case of violating sanctions against Iran. During the process, Zarrab became a witness and came to the forefront with his statements in the Hakan Atilla case. After his release, he adopted the name "Aaron Goldsmith" and established a company focused on horse breeding in Florida.
