And the verdict?
"4 in Tehran get death sentence in corruption case" by Nasser Karimi | Associated Press, July 31, 2012
TEHRAN — An Iranian court has sentenced four people to death and given two more life sentences on charges linked to a $2.6 billion bank fraud described as the biggest financial scam in the country’s history, an official said Monday.
That's the biggest one? Wow, AmeriKa beat them by trillions -- and may have to do it again we are being told by the private central bankers!
The trial, which began in February, involved some of the country’s largest financial institutions and raised uncomfortable questions about corruption at senior levels in Iran’s tightly controlled economy.
But few specific details have been released, possibly to avoid exposing too much internal scandal while Iran’s leaders seek to assure the country it can ride out tightening sanctions over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Prosecutors have referred to the linchpin defendant only by a nickname and have provided just general information about his purported business empire.
The main charges included using forged documents to get credit at one of Iran’s top banks, allegedly to purchase assets including major state-owned companies....
Did they also use them to fraudulently foreclose on homes?
Meanwhile, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his hard-line rivals traded blows in their political power struggle....
I wouldn't bank on Ahmadinejad.
And he's the moderate now?
In the latest twist....
Actually, I'm really not interested in the latest Zionist contortions and distortions, thank you.
