The wealthy tech tycoon who allegedly shoved his wife from a SoCal mountain killed her to stop her from siphoning millions from their joint bank account, new court documents reveal.
Aryan Papoli had withdrawn $5 to $8 million from the bank she shared with Gordon Abas Goodarzi and had plans to split the couple’s lavish properties between their two sons, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The California Post.
“It is believed that the murder in part was committed for that financial gain,” prosecutors claim in the jaw-dropping document.
“It is believed the defendant would financially benefit from the murder by being able to claim a right to the money.”
Goodarzi made a brief appearance in San Bernardino County court Tuesday for an arraignment that was postponed til Thursday. He remains in custody.
