In the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Arash Missaghi, a Toronto man labeled a ‘predatory fraudster’ by a judge, another victim has come forward. 

Iranian Canadian artist Alijan Alijanpour, 68, alleges he lost his life’s work, paintings worth over a million dollars, and was saddled with a forged $1.2 million mortgage due to Missaghi’s schemes. 

Missaghi and a business partner were killed by Alan Kats, 46, last week. 

Kats claimed Missaghi ruined his family financially before he ended his own life.

Alijanpour, whose work has been exhibited at the Royal Ontario Museum, the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts and the National Art Museum of China, told CBC that Missaghi earned his trust after he commissioned several paintings from him about a decade ago.

When it came time to move his paintings to a new gallery, 38 pieces total, Alijanpour accepted Missaghi’s offer to help. After that, he claims he never saw his paintings again.
