NCRI – The disclosure of bribery by 170 members of mullahs’ parliament is a scandal that regime’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is trying to cover up.
lawmaker Kamal-ad-Din Peermo’azzen told the state news agency of YJC on February 4: “The names of these 170 parliamentarians have been sent to the judiciary.”
This bribery was revealed during the trial of the first deputy of regime’s former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the power struggle between the ruling cliques, Ahmadinejad’s deputy Mohammadreza Rahimi has been prosecuted and sentenced to five years in prison.
In an open letter, Rahimi revealed that he has bribed 170 parliamentarians for a total of 1200 billion tomans which was equivalent to $4.5 billion at the time.
Mohammadreza Rahimi’s lawyer told official news agency IRNA: “My client is not planning to declare the names of those representatives who have received money from him.”
Ahmad Tavakoli, a senior parliamentarian called for Ahmadinejad himself to face justice.
Concurrently, Haddad Adel, a very close associate of Khamenei, attempted to cloak this scandal. He stated that Khamenei is against targeting other people in this issue.
