DC men accused of posing as fake feds were ‘tipped off’ to investigation, shipped evidence: Filing

Two Washington, D.C. men accused of posing as federal agents were “tipped off” about the federal investigation into their scheme just one day before they were arrested, and “shipped” evidence out of their apartment, a Sunday court filing by prosecutors states.

Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35, were both arrested on April 6 at a luxury apartment in the Navy Yard area of Washington, D.C during a multi-federal government agency raid of several apartment units. They were charged with false impersonation of a federal officer in a U.S. District Court on Thursday.

Federal prosecutors filed a motion for detention on April 8, arguing that Ali is a flight risk and Taherzdeh could attempt to obstruct justice.

Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey said on Friday that he needs more details about Ali’s travel history to Pakistan and Iran, additional details about “United Special Police LLC,” which Taherzadeh allegedly controls, as well as detailed information about Taherzadeh’s history as a deputized special police officer with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C.– READ MORE
