Episode Details

In a shocking courtroom drama unfolding in London, two Romanian men face charges of orchestrating a brutal stabbing attack on Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati at Wimbledon — allegedly a state-backed hit ordered by Iran. The defendants, Nandito Badea and George Stana, deny involvement in the deadly plot, claiming they were misled and paid to “beat someone up” without knowing the plan involved stabbing. Stana admitted driving the attackers to the scene and splitting the cash, while the prosecution paints a picture of a meticulously planned assault involving a third party linked to Tehran. After the attack, the trio allegedly fled to Heathrow and Geneva, using ride-sharing apps to evade detection. Zeraati, a reporter for Iran International — a U.S.-based outlet branded as a “spy network” by Iran — was forced to relocate from London after threats against his life and family. The trial continues, with the world watching as justice grapples with geopolitical shadows.
