A one-time business partner to hotel heiress and anti-child abuse advocate Paris Hilton has been charged with hiring a jailed rapper’s former head of security to kill a documentary filmmaker whose movie he suspected would portray him in a negative light.

Fereidoun Khalilian, 51, who paired with Hilton to launch Club Paris in Orlando in 2004, is accused of offering a hitman $20,000 to take out a former associate who was working on a documentary about him, federal investigators said in a criminal complaint filed Thursday. The would-be hitman, identified in court documents only as M.S., appeared to go along with the plan, but instead ultimately teamed up with the target, staging a fake crime scene that appeared to depict the murder and telling federal law enforcement about the murder plot.

“They actually asked if you wanted a souvenir,” M.S. wrote Khalilian, according to court documents, after sending him pictures of what turned out to be a fake murder.
