Subject / Extradition of Iranian criminals
Reference to your letter No. 6081 dated 2 / 12 / 1934
Upon reviewing the correspondence concerning the criminals in question, we did not find
anything indicating that one of them is named Tawfiq Beg bin Ahmed Beg Jafar Sultan
rather, they are Mohammad Reza Beg bin Mohammad Rashid Beg and Tawfiq bin Faizullah Beg
And the first mention of Tawfiq Beg bin Ahmed Beg Jafar Sultan is what appeared
in the Ministry of Justice letter No. AM / 263 dated 5 / 11 / 1934
which we believe was mentioned by mistake

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the honor to refer to the memorandum of the Imperial Iranian Legation in
Baghdad, numbered 3382 and dated October 10, 1933, regarding the extradition of Iranian
criminals, and points out that what is understood from the Legation's letter is that the persons whose extradition is requested are three, namely:
Muhammad Rida Bek, Muhammad Rashid Bek, and Tawfiq bin Faizullah Bek. Although the location to which
these criminals fled was not specified, it has become clear from the specific extradition papers that the criminals whose extradition is requested
are two, not three, namely: Muhammad Rida Bek bin Muhammad Rashid Bek and Tawfiq bin Faizullah Bek. Therefore, the
Ministry hopes that the Legation will confirm this and kindly specify the location to which the criminals
requested for extradition have fled in its memoranda on similar cases. The Ministry also wishes to clarify that
orders have been issued to carry out the required legal procedures regarding only the two aforementioned criminals, in accordance
with the clarity of the extradition papers specific to them, awaiting the Legation's confirmation that the requested for extradition are two criminals,
not three.
The Ministry avails itself of this opportunity to express its highest consideration and respect.

The Iranian Legation requested the extradition of the three mentioned criminals, and
nothing appeared in its discussed letter other than the mention of their names and the request for the arrest
of them, and it appears that the Legation erred in that, as instead of saying (Muhammad Rida
Bey bin Muhammad Rashid Bey) it mentioned (Muhammad Rida Bey and Muhammad Rashid Bey), which made us
believe that the criminals requested for extradition are three, not two, although we will clarify this
point to the Iranian Legation and we hope you will kindly take the necessary action in the meantime according to
