Tasnim further said that Iran’s judiciary chief Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei has referred the legal proceedings of the case to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Intelligence Unit “for certain considerations”, and has ordered the case be handled with no leniency.
After several sessions, the court has issued the final verdict for the main suspect, ruling that 20 thousand billion tomans ($4.73 million) should be returned to the country’s banking system.
