Azerbaijan, Baku, May 4/Trend M. Moezzi
The head of the General Inspection Office of Iran said his office has submitted a 100 million euro banking fraud case to the judiciary.
While visiting with clergymen and seminary students at the Persian Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas, Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi , the General Inspection Office's chief, said he hoped the judiciary would pay special attention to the case, Mehr news agency reports.
The new fraud case comes as the $3 billion embezzelment trial continues. That case involves Amir Mansour Arya Group, accused of using its influence and government officials' cooperation to obtain forged letters of credit and huge bank loans that far exceeded its own value.
Mah Afarid Amir Khosravi is the lead defendant in the case but denies the charges against him. Mr. Khosravi controlled the Arya Group.
