Parviz Sabeti (Persian: پرویز ثابتی; born March 25, 1936, in Sang-e Sar) is an Iranian lawyer, former SAVAK top deputy under the regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. He was in charge of SAVAK’s second division which was called “Surveillance and Pursuit” dept. the division of SAVAK that was mainly responsible for interrogating individuals. Born in Sang-e Sar, Semnan Province. Sabeti received a law degree from the University of Tehran and joined the SAVAK, Iran's intelligence agency in Shah's regime, in 1957, and quickly rose to become the acting director of the SAVAK's so-called third division, the Division of Surveillance and Pursuit, and later became its director.[1]
He has been called one of the most powerful men in the last two decades of the Pahlavi dynasty.[1] Historian Abbas Milani describes him as "like a character from a le Carré novel" and says that "As his fame and reputation grew, his name and face disappeared from the public domain."[1]
