3. Biodata:
Sayed Wahid Qatali Sayed Abdul Wahid Qataali, s/o Abdul Wahab,  was born in 1987 in Enjeel District, Herat Province. He is a scion of one of Heart city's richest families. He went to Primary School in his native town. He joined faculty of Art in Heart University. Qatali is the Head of Arya Security Company. (20120312) Qatali is close to Ismael Khan. Sayed Wahid Qattali rented a house for $1,500 a month, built a studio and this month began Herat’s newest television station, Asar, or Time, which he describes as pro-democratic. He also started a radio station focused solely on women and their issues. (20121119) Sayed Wahid Qetali is a member of the Herat's Mujahedin Council (20120426)

Sayed Wahid Qatali comes from a very prominent family of former mujahedin and long-term Ismail Khan’s associates. His brother runs a security company which, alone, has apparently managed to retain contracts on the road to Shindand in face of the deployment of the Afghan Public Protection Force and the dissolution of private companies. His father is the founder of the Museum of Jihad in Herat where Ismail Khan’s collection of war relics is on display.

Wahid Qatali is young and educated and apparently independently-minded: in 2012, he ran for the Provincial Council chair against Faizzada and against Ismail Khan’s better advice. One year later, when Ismail Khan switched his support from Faizzada to Qatali, he apparently had troubles in convincing Qatali to fall in line and participate again in the election. At any rate, the strong ties of his family with Ismail Khan can hardly be denied.

Abdul Wahid Qatali previously served, among other things, as head of the Administrative Office of the President in Kabul.
 

The current governor of Herat, Abdul Wahid Qatali; the director of Public Health, Abdul Hakim Tamana; three members of the provincial council, Wakil Ahmad Karukhel, Najibullah Mohibi, and Ghulam Habib Hashimi; and several others are introduced to the court by the special prosecutor’s office. They are accused of embezzling money from Afghanistan’s fight against the COVID-19 project and have been referred to the court for committing serious corruptions. (20201026)
