Timeline

In 2016 Bloomberg reported that Khavari and his sons have been active in Toronto real estate market even after the scandal and from 2012 to 2016 the family has purchased at least $12.1-million worth of properties under various names and legal entities. Additionally they are responsible for roughly $11-million from 10 different mortgages.

In March 2015, the same official announced that his hiding place had been discovered and Canadian authorities were referring his case to Canadian judiciary.

In February 2014, the head of the Interpol Office of Iranian police said "a few days ago, the Canadian Interpol claimed in a phone contact that he has escaped to a Latin American or Caribbean country but that they couldn't verify the escape yet, and this is the latest piece of information provided by the Canadian police to us". He dismissed the report on his escape from Canada".

He was chairman of Bank Melli Iran until September 2011 and chairman of Bank Sepah’s board of directors from December 2003 until at least March 2005.

In 2011, Khavari resigned from his position at Bank Melli amid allegations of being involved in the Iranian embezzlement scandal of roughly 2.6 billion dollars. The scandal involved using forged documents to fraudulently buy assets that included major state-owned companies; Bank Melli, which Khavari led as its chairman of the board and managing director, was accused of facilitating fraudulent payments. Khavari shortly after went to United Kingdom in order to attend a meeting at Lloyd Bank and announced his resignation by faxing it to Iranian officials on Tuesday, September 27, 2011.

At the end of September, 2011 he moved to Canada, where he has citizenship. Toronto property records in Khavari’s name date to 2001, when he took out a mortgage for a $615,000 property on Elmwood Ave., in North York. At one time, Khavari owned a Toronto-based company called Soaring Properties. In attempts to protect his capital from seizure, Khavari invested in Toronto real estate by giving money to his sons, Khashayar and Ardavan. He also signed his 3-million dollar house in Bridle Path, Toronto over to his daughter, Parandis Khavari, and transferred their other two houses to be in Mrs. Khavaris name only. Despite numerous requests from Iranian police, Canadian authorities did not extradite Khavari. He may face the death penalty if convicted by the judicial system of Iran.

On October 31, 2011, House of Commons of Canada member Irwin Cotler called for investigation on how he became a Canadian citizen.

After graduation Khavari was hired by the Bank of Industry and Mine (Sanat-o-Madan) as the head of its complaints department. He was then selected to the board of directors of Sepah Bank in Rafsanjani's government and became the head of Sepah Bank during Khatami's presidency. In 2010 he was appointed by Ahmadinejad's government as the chairman of the board and managing director of Bank Melli Iran, the largest bank in Iran.

Many of the companies and institutions that Khavari has been associated with such as Bank Sepah and later Bank Melli have been sanctioned by the UN security council and the international community since 2007. UN Security Council blacklisted Bank Sepah under resolution 1747 and placed restrictions on Melli under resolution 1803. According to security expert, Avi Jorisch, Khavari is in violation of the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations for having worked and provided financial services on behalf of a designated Canadian entity. Khavari is also in violation of Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act, along with Part II.1 of the Criminal Code (Section 83.05). Furthermore, under Section 83.05, Canadian authorities have the right to freeze Khavari’s assets. However, as of 2016 Khavari has not been subjected to any asset freeze or investigation by the Canadian authorities.
