Some $22 billion has been transferred illegally from Iran, said Iranian First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri.

He said the sum has been transferred to Istanbul and Dubai within a short period of time with the aim of reducing the foreign currency exchange rate, Iran's IRIB reported on Jan. 21.

He did not provide further details on the issue, but said that 30 percent of the illegally transferred $22 billion has been exchanged by a broker.

He added that a number of persons who had been involved in the illegal transaction have been arrested.
