In 2021, Zindashti’s network recruited Canadian national and British Columbia-based Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle Group member Damion Patrick John Ryan (Ryan) to assassinate individuals in the United States who fled Iran. Ryan, whose criminal history ranges from firearms trafficking charges to international drug trafficking, has ties to criminal elements in Canada, the United States, and Greece. Zindashti associate Asan worked closely with Ryan to plan the assassinations, sending the location and photos of the targets, in addition to coordinating payment details. Ryan also recruited Canadian national and Hell’s Angels affiliate Adam Richard Pearson (Pearson) to carry out the murders. Both Ryan and Pearson are presently incarcerated abroad on unrelated criminal matters. Damion Patrick John Ryan is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13553 for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of Nihat Abdulkadir Asan. Adam Richard Pearson is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13553 for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of Damion Patrick John Ryan.
