A trusted state official. Millions in taxpayer dollars. And a corruption scandal so bizarre it allegedly ended with the accused hiding out as a shepherd in Iran.

In this episode of Fugitive Files, we uncover the case of Farhad “Fred” Monem, the former Oregon Department of Corrections administrator accused of orchestrating a years-long bribery scheme that corrupted the state's prison food system. According to federal investigators, Monem accepted more than $1.2 million in kickbacks from food brokers in exchange for steering lucrative government contracts their way. Prosecutors allege the arrangement allowed vendors to profit while inmates were served spoiled, substandard, and sometimes unsafe food, all at the expense of Oregon taxpayers.

As the investigation closed in, Monem allegedly vanished before he could be brought to justice. While his wife and several co-conspirators were convicted and sent to prison, authorities say Monem fled to his native Iran, where he has remained beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement. The FBI and IRS have spent years trying to track him down, turning him into one of the more unusual white-collar fugitives on America's wanted lists.

In this episode, we break down the bribery scheme, the millions that allegedly changed hands behind closed doors, the impact on Oregon's prison system, and the extraordinary story of a fugitive accused of trading a government office for life on the run.
