Azerbaijan, Baku, June 10 / Trend F.Milad /

Interpol has placed former head of Iran's Bank Melli, Mahmoud Reza Khavari, on its Red Notice Wanted list, the Fars News agency quoted a top judiciary official as saying.

Nasser Seraj added that the Interpol has issued the verdict to prosecute Khavari.

Judiciary spokesman Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei called on Interpol to arrest and hand over Mahmoud Reza Khavari, the former managing director of Bank Melli, who fled to Canada after the $2.6 billion financial fraud case was uncovered.

The embezzlement case started in 2007 by Amir Mansour Arya Investment Company, headed by Khosravi, and progressed in 2010 after some Iranian major banks, including Bank Saderat and Bank Melli, issued loans for the company.
Iranian officials say that the case involved the use of fraudulent documents to obtain credit for this investment company, one of the country's top financial institutions. The company used them to purchase assets such as state-owned companies.
