Former CEO of IAR Systems US subsidiaries, Nadim Shehayed, pleaded guilty to criminal embezzlement and sentenced to jail, probation and restitution
The charges and the guilty pleas stemmed from Mr. Shehayed’s illegal activities discovered by IAR Systems in 2012 and the legal process has been ongoing since September 2012. On October 5, 2021, the Court sentenced Mr. Shehayed to restitution in the total amount of 550,000 USD of which Mr. Shehayed immediately paid 250,000 USD with the remainder to be paid in further installments. Compensation received will be recognized in the income statement when payment is made.
The first 250,000 USD were paid in and recognized as income in September. The remaining 300,000 USD will be paid in installments, the first of which, in the amount of 100,000 USD, is due on or before April 4, 2022. Further installments will follow on the remaining 200,000 USD as will be ordered by the Court. Mr. Shehayed will apart from jail time, also serve 3 years’ probation, under Court supervision, and has been ordered to write letters of apology to IAR Systems representatives.
