Regulators have revoked the licence of an Ontario dentist after Global News revealed he was practicing under a name he adopted following his conviction for helping Iran evade sanctions.
This was reported by the "Global News".
Dr. Aurash Cohen is no longer entitled to practice in the province, according to the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, which said it cancelled his certification on Nov. 20.
A college spokesperson said she could not provide details about cases.
But she said dentists seeking certification are “required to disclose their criminal conduct history, in any jurisdiction, on their application for registration in Ontario.”
“The application form is a legal attestation – dentists are required to declare the accuracy of the contents of their application when it is submitted,” Lesley Byrne said in a statement.
The decision came six weeks after Global News reported that “Dr. Cohen” was, in fact, Arash Yousefijam, an Ontario resident who pleaded guilty in 2021 to running an Iran sanctions dodging scheme.
Together with his brother Amin Yousefijam, he exported sensitive manufacturing equipment to Iran. The Yousefijams pleaded guilty in the U.S. to sanctions evasion charges, and were sentenced to time served.
