Mohammed Asaria

Asaria's career path: Rasameel Investment Bank Kuwait (Islamic finance, MD) to Range Developments (Dubai-HQ CBI developer) — Kuwait/Gulf capital backing for Caribbean passport sales

Mohammed Asaria served as Managing Director at Rasameel Investment Company, a Kuwait-based Islamic Sharia-compliant investment firm regulated by Kuwait CMA. He then founded Range Developments, headquartered in Dubai, which developed CBI-funded luxury resorts in Dominica and St Kitts. Range raised USD 195M from 800 family passports for the Dominica Kempinski project. Zampolli's lawsuit alleged Asaria and Shehada sold passports to Iran/Yemen/Sudan nationals to circumvent sanctions. The Rasameel-Range pipeline represents Gulf capital backing Caribbean CBI programs that were exploited for Iranian sanctions evasion.

Mohammed Asaria is #4 betweenness (0.258) with degree 8 and low clustering (0.143). Primary bridge between Caribbean CBI/diplomacy cluster and Range Developments corporate empire. Cross-thread actor in threads 3, 5, and 48.

Asaria neighbors span political (Roosevelt Skerrit), corporate (Range Developments Group, Range Hospitality Ltd, Rasameel entities), and operational (Kamal Shehada, Zampolli). Low clustering (0.143) confirms these domains are poorly connected except through him. As the only individual linking Kuwaiti/Gulf finance (Rasameel) to Caribbean CBI deal flow, Asaria occupies a unique intermediary position. Has only 4 findings against 10 connections.

Asaria career: Cambridge law -> Hogan Lovells -> HSBC Dubai -> Rasameel Kuwait -> Range Developments 2011 — prior HSBC and Middle East banking experience relevant to CBI fund channeling

Mohammed Asaria graduated Trinity College, Cambridge (law), then worked at Hogan Lovells (solicitor) and HSBC in London/Tokyo/Dubai, followed by Rasameel Investment Bank in Kuwait. Founded Range Developments in 2011/2012. His HSBC experience (including Dubai) is particularly relevant: HSBC's Swiss private bank (HSBC Private Bank Suisse SA, Geneva) was the institution where 28 Dominican passport holders had $40.9 million in accounts per the 2015 Swiss Leaks. While no direct link is proven between Asaria and the HSBC Swiss accounts, his HSBC tenure combined with the 'Bank of Dominica account in Geneva' allegation creates a circumstantial pattern worth investigating. Range is now registered in Dominica (Range Capital Partners (Dominica) Limited, Roseau) and Dubai (Boulevard Plaza, Tower 2, Office 1104).

Founded Range Developments 2011/2012. Currently Founder, Managing Director and Board Member. Dubai-based. The Rasameel connection is notable — Rasameel is a Kuwaiti investment company regulated by Capital Markets Authority of Kuwait, with pillars in wealth management, asset management, and alternative investments. The progression from Kuwaiti investment banking to founding a CBI resort developer suggests Gulf capital networks as likely Range funding sources.
