Ali Behmanesh who was in charge of Abdol-Malek Rigi’s file told reporters on the occasion of the capturing operation of Rigi’s that the arrested brother was wanted by Iran.
‘His main crimes were those committed in Iran and he was arrested after Iran approached Interpol. Apparently, he is also accused of acts in the arresting country.’
He said Iran is after extradition of the arrested man to be tried here.
Behmanesh also said that Rigi was supported and financed by Saudi regime to fan sectarian differences between Shia and Sunni Muslims and commit terrorist actions in Iran.
