Byzantine Stones had allegedly falsified import documents, understating the actual weight of the travertine tiles by 20,000 lbs. Plaintiffs argued the defendant’s negligence caused Mr. Coltston’s death. Travertine tiles in the container are generally exported from Iran.

This lawsuit unraveled the illegal scheme employed by the Ladjevardians in their business.
In order to evade US sanctions, many Iranian controlled companies have been known to include cargo that is not on the packing list, or undervalue their cargo.

Ladjevardian entered the Harris County Democratic Party office in Houston primaries in the filing deadline on December 9, 2019.
It is quite interesting how this former Beto O’Rourke adviser was quickly escorted through the process.
