Just blocks from London’s luxurious Harrods department store sits an office that’s a key cog in an Iranian oil kingpin’s financial empire.
The building at 180 Brompton Road is one of the main outposts for Ocean Leonid Investments, a hedge fund overseen by Hossein Shamkhani, the secretive commodities trader whose network is an influential player in both Iran and Russia, according to more than a dozen people familiar with the matter and documents seen by Bloomberg.
