Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into whether Shahid Kaveh, described by elDiario.es as a digital unit linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, was involved in cyberattacks on refrigeration equipment on 11 October that disrupted supermarkets in several European countries.
The move is a concrete judicial escalation: the French inquiry is examining suspected authorship of the attacks, rather than merely treating them as a cybersecurity incident. ElDiario.es reports that the investigation concerns Shahid Kaveh’s leaders and any other people who may be identified.
The report does not name the affected retailers or countries, describe the alleged evidence, specify offences, or quantify the disruption. It also contains no response from Shahid Kaveh or Iranian authorities.
That distinction matters. Interference with cold-storage systems can disrupt ordinary food retail, but the reported investigation concerns whether Shahid Kaveh was involved. Any conclusion on responsibility, motive or the full scale of the damage depends on the evidence developed in the case.
