The Iranian police say law enforcement forces have apprehended 5 people for alleged involvement in the shooting to death of the brother of the Metropol Building in Abadan.
Metropol collapse in the southwestern city last May left dozens dead.
Majid Abdolbaghi, the brother of the owner of Metropol was gunned down by several men while he was entering his house.
Security sources say the attackers fled the scene after opening fire on Abdolbaghi but they were identified soon and arrested in their hideout.
