Arian Taherzadeh’s plea came nearly four months after his arrest with a second man, Haider Ali, revealed allegations that they breached Secret Service agents with access to the White House — including at least one assigned to protect first lady Jill Biden. It also revealed a cache of weapons and police equipment in apartments kept by the two Washington men. In addition to the federal conspiracy, Taherzadeh, 40, as part of his plea, also pleaded guilty to two District of Columbia felonies: unlawful possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device and eavesdropping. The latest charge relates to the unauthorized videotaping of women having sex in apartments he rented and set up with surveillance cameras. Taherzadeh’s sentencing date has not been scheduled. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, but federal sentencing guidelines set out in his plea agreement indicate he will serve between 37 months and 46 months in prison. As part of his plea agreement, Taherzadeh agreed to cooperate with federal authorities in their ongoing investigation. He remains free but cannot leave his home, with few exceptions, as a condition of his court-ordered release after his arrest. Prosecutors said he concocted an elaborate series of false claims to be a federal agent to obtain several apartments for which he failed to pay rent, to promote his own security company and to ingratiate himself with real federal officers. Ali, 36, has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsely impersonating a federal officer and unlawful possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device in the case, which is pending in US District Court in Washington. Ali is also under substantial house arrest. Prosecutors said a third person, who was not identified in court filings, was involved in the scheme. Taherzadeh in 2018 created a purported private investigative agency called the United States Special Police, which despite its name was not connected in any way to the US government, prosecutors said. From late 2018 to April, Taherzadeh falsely claimed to be a Department of Homeland Security special agent, a member of a federal task force, a former U.S. Marshal and a former Army Ranger, according to court records. He used these claims to pander to Secret Service agents, some of whom he gave gifts that included a generator and a “Doomsday” backpack to one agent and the rent-free use of two apartments for about a year to two other agents . , prosecutors said. In total, the gifts to Secret Service members were worth more than $90,000, prosecutors said. Taherzadeh’s company obtained leases for several apartments in three apartment complexes in Washington, D.C., but failed to pay rent, parking fees and other expenses, resulting in more than $800,000 in losses to the owners of the complexes. And “Taherzadeh installed surveillance cameras outside and inside his apartment in one of the complexes,” the US Department of Justice said in a news release. “Among other things, he installed, maintained and used cameras in his bedroom. He used these cameras to record women engaging in sexual activity. Taherzadeh then showed these explicit videos to third parties,” according to the statement. Four members of the Secret Service were placed on administrative leave pending further investigation following the arrest of Taherzadeh and Ali.
