Iranian-American businessman Farhad Azima has accused a pair of Indian companies of stealing his emails and publishing them to the Web, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in North Carolina.

Azima’s suit alleges that Indian security company CyberRoot Risk Advisory and New Delhi-based BellTroX InfoTech Services carried out the hack-and-leak at the behest of American private intelligence company Vital Management Services, which in turn had been hired by the international law firm Dechert on behalf of the Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority (RAKIA), an investment fund based in the United Arab Emirates.
