Interpol Nabs Fugitive Judge in Romania at Iran’s Request

Interpol Nabs Fugitive Judge in Romania at Iran’s Request

The fugitive judge, Gholam-Reza Mansouri, is accused of corruption and taking more than $500,000 in bribes.

Speaking to IRINN on Saturday, Iran’s Judiciary Spokesman Gholam-Hossein Esmaeili gave more details of the apprehension, saying close cooperation between the Judiciary and the Interpol office in Iran led to the arrest of Mansouri who has been handed over to the Interpol office in Romania.

“The necessary arrangements have been made to extradite him to Iran as soon as the flights resume from Romania to Iran or to other neighbouring countries,” the Judiciary spokesperson added.

Asked if the corrupt judge has surrendered himself to the authorities or has been caught, he said Mansouri had once gone to the Islamic Republic’s Embassy, but his behaviour was such that the Embassy staff realized he was not determined to return to the country.

Esmaeili explained that the Iranian Judiciary had issued warrants for the wanted fugitive’s arrest in a number of countries where he was believed to reside, saying when Mansouri’s whereabouts was detected, a Red Notice request was submitted to the Romanian Police to arrest him.

The Judiciary spokesman further ruled out the possibility that the arrestee may appear in a Sunday court session in Tehran in which Akbar Tabari will stand trial for the third time, saying no international flight will be operated from Romania until at least next week due to the coronavirus outbreak.

He also expressed hope that bilateral interaction and coordination with the foreign countries would allow for the extradition of other fugitive criminals wanted by the Iranian Judiciary.

“The other fugitives are advised to return (to Iran) of their own volition; otherwise, serious efforts will be made to extradite them,” Esmaeili warned.

Last week, Iran managed to bring back another convict charged with involvement in a major case of disrupting the country’s economy, the spokesman noted, saying he is a man named Abtin.

He has been charged with disrupting the country’s economic system in one of the southern provinces, Esmaeili added.

Mansouri is among several judges who were accused of corruption during the high-profile trial of former senior Judiciary official Akbar Tabari, which opened in Tehran on June 7.

In a video posted online on June 8, Mansouri didn’t give details about his whereabouts, but said he would return to Iran as soon as travel restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic are eased.

“I have full trust in the Islamic Republic, Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei], and the judicial system,” Mansouri said in the video.

On Thursday, June 11, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) filed an official complaint with German federal judicial authorities demanding Mansouri’s arrest for suppressing and jailing dozens of Iranian journalists.

Threats against ICC Proof of US’ Anti-Justice Nature: Iran

Threats against ICC Proof of US Anti-Justice Nature: Iran

In a post on his Twitter account on Saturday, Vaezi took a swipe at the US president for his threat to punish the ICC workers investigating alleged war crimes by the US forces and their allies, including Israel.

“Mr. Trump! Intimidating the International Criminal Court’s judges and workers by resorting to the immoral method of sanctions reveals the White House’s anti-justice and anti-human rights spirit,” the Iranian president’s chief of staff said.

“The futility of these sanctions have been proved for years with the Iranian nation’s fortitude,” he added.

His comments came after US President Donald Trump lobbed a broadside attack against the ICC by authorizing economic and travel sanctions against court workers directly involved in investigating American troops and intelligence officials and those of allied nations, including Israel, for possible war crimes in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

The order would block the financial assets of court employees and bar them and their immediate relatives from entering the United States.

In a statement on Thursday, the International Criminal Court expressed profound regret at the announcement of further threats and coercive actions, including financial measures, against the court and its officials, made by the US government, saying, “The ICC stands firmly by its staff and officials and remains unwavering in its commitment to discharging, independently and impartially, the mandate bestowed upon it by the Rome Statute and the States that are party to it.”

“An attack on the ICC also represents an attack against the interests of victims of atrocity crimes, for many of whom the Court represents the last hope for justice,” the statement deplored.

Iran Urges US to End ‘Shameful Hostage-Taking’

Iran Vows to Respond If US Makes Any New Strategic Mistake

Ali Rabiee noted that swapping prisoners between Iran and the US is part of the nation’s policies “at the highest decision-making levels of the Establishment.”

“We have asked the US regime to make arrangements to restore the legal rights of other innocent Iranian inmates and put an end to this shameful hostage-taking,” he said.

The spokesman noted the government will continue to support these Iranian citizens as well as other Iranian expats which run into trouble and are mired in unfavourable conditions in different countries due to discrimination and political matters.

“One of the basic duties that the government feels responsible, more than ever, to fulfill is to support the dignity of all Iranian citizens, both inside and outside the country, whose daily lives have been disrupted as a result of the United States’ inhumane and unfair sanctions,” he added.

Rabiei said the US regime has become so impudent with regards to breaching global values that it has threatened to slap sanctions on members of the International Court of Justice if they look into international crimes committed by American military troops and citizens.

He underlined the reason why Iran does not take US President Donald Trump offer of talks seriously is that the “unruly” regime seeks to tighten the noose around internationally known jurists to wreck justice and common human values.

He said Washington has left no option for Tehran other than standing up to bullying and calling on all nations to band together in the face of this “unbelievable revolt.”

'National Coalition for Life' Formed in Iran to Contain COVID-19: President

President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday called on citizens to avoid unnecessary trips and keep observing health protocols in order to ward off another peak in coronavirus infections.

He said still no definitive drug or vaccine has been developed for the disease and “we have not reached collective immunity yet.”

The president said some provinces are facing a rise in the number of infections due to visitors travelling there during holiday periods.

“No matter how advanced the country is, the number of beds and medical facilities as well as medical personnel is limited; so, everybody should keep cooperating with regards to observing directives,” he said.

President Rouhani said the government is doing whatever it can to provide more hospital beds, medical facilities and protective gear for doctors and nurses.

He also called on relevant bodies to supply “inexpensive and enough” masks to people.

He further said more attention should be paid to the elderly and people with underlying health conditions as they are more vulnerable to coronavirus.

Iran Summons French Envoy over Macron’s Anti-Islam Stances

The Ambassador of Afghanistan to Tehran went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday morning to provide an explanation for a series of recent moves against the Iranian diplomatic missions in Afghanistan.

It came after the moves by a small group of certain political currents with a record of opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran and to the good neighbourliness between Iran and Afghanistan.

The groups recently made a series of insulting moves and violated the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Embassy and other missions in Afghanistan under the pretext that a number of Afghan nationals who had plans for illegal entry into Iran or had entered Iran illegally with the help of traffickers have died.

In the Saturday meeting in Tehran, Director General of West Asia of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern about the impact of the wrong measures by that small group on the neighbourly relations between Iran and Afghanistan.
