A Washington DC man who faked being a federal agent to scam his way into $800,000 worth of real estate has decided to cooperate with the feds.
Arian Taherzadeh, 40, pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy offense in addition to local charges of unlawful possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device and voyeurism, the Department of Justice announced Monday.
Taherzadeh and his accused cohort Haider Sher-Ali, 35, created a fake covert law enforcement agency called the United States Special Police and made phony police credentials.
On different occasions between 2018 and this spring, Taherzadeh falsely claimed to be a former Army Ranger, US Marshal and Homeland Security agent as part of a scheme to coerce three apartment complex owners into giving him multiple rent-free apartments and parking spaces for his made-up agency, according to prosecutors.
Taherzadeh then gifted weapons and stolen real estate to Secret Service agents “because it deepened their relationship and furthered his ability to impersonate himself as a federal law enforcement officer,” prosecutors said.
