NCRI – On Tuesday 29th November 2016, the state-run newspaper, Resalat published an article entitled “who is protecting public treasury?” disclosing another part of the systematic corruption of Iran regime.
This newspaper writes: “the Supreme Audit Court of Iran is an observatory body that can dismiss the supreme authorities and return the stolen funds to the treasury and ultimately it can prosecute the financial crimes such as embezzlement, theft, and the unlawful possession of public funds. It can also send the case to the judiciary not for any revision but for prosecution.
The president of the Supreme Audit Court of Iran presented a report to the Parliament two months ago regarding the far-fetched amount of salaries and he hoped that all stolen money would be returned to the treasury by of November21st.
Today is November21st. No report has been issued regarding that and no question has been answered concerning such aristocratic approach that threatens the country’s bureaucracy.”
Resalat Newspaper then frames a question regarding those who obstruct the implementation of justice. The article reads: “the spokesman of the Judiciary said that the government and Supreme Audit Court have not yet delivered any report regarding the mind-boggling amount of salaries. By the way, how this puzzle could be solved? Who is obstructing the administration of justice in this regard? Who disagrees to prosecute and punish those who were encroaching on the treasury of Muslims?”
The article mentions about the confessions of Hajibabai who is the chairman of the Committee for integrating the sixth plan of Parliament. The article reads: “to this day, no one has ever talked about the government’s revenue from the subsidy reform plan. The figure of subsidies income reaches to $25 billion and in the previous year the amount was about $21 billion of which only $11 billion has been paid to the people.”
Hajibabai also admitted that “according to the plan, each person should receive $15 monthly but as the inflation increased this year, this amount is now equal to $8. However, the cost of electricity consumption has increased 5 times since the subsidizing plan has started.”
Finally, Resalat Newspaper asks” according to the constitution, parliament has to follow the case through the Supreme Audit Court. Then, why are the parliament and the Supreme Audit Court of Iran silent on this matter?
