The Iranian authorities has sentenced Akbar Tabari, a former high-ranking judiciary official, to 31 years in prison on charges of “setting up and heading a bribery network,” Al Arabiya<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

The trial of Tabari opened in June alongside 21 other defendants.<\/p>\n

In its judgment of 12 September Criminal Court in Tehran ordered Tabari fined more than $ 1.65 million dollars.<\/p>\n

In addition, Tabari was convicted of money laundering, for which he was sentenced to pay another $ 2.3 million.<\/p>\n

The court also seized Tabari’s property, including four apartments in northern Tehran, two business venues in the center of the capital, and five plots of land in a popular northern tourist resort.<\/p>\n

Tabari served in a number of senior roles in Iran\u2019s judiciary, including as the head of executive affairs and executive deputy under then judiciary chief Ayatollah Sadegh Amoli Larijani from 2009 to 2019.<\/p>\n

In March 2019, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei replaced Larijani with Ebrahim Raisi, a religious conservative and urged him to fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

Raisi sacked Tabari eight days after taking office without providing a reason.<\/p>\n

Two other suspects on trial, Farhad Mashayekh Fereydoun and Rasool Danialzadeh, were sentenced to 15 years each in prison for participating in corruption.<\/p>\n

Two former judges, Bijan Qasemzadeh and Hamidreza Alizadeh, were also convicted of peddling influence and receiving bribes. They were each sentenced to 10 years\u2019 jail.<\/p>\n

A scandal was added to this investigation following the unexplained death of a fugitive Iranian judge in July also featured in the case.<\/p>\n

Gholamreza Mansouri, 52, had fled Iran last year, first going to Germany and then moving to Romania.<\/p>\n

He plunged from a top floor of his hotel in Bucharest with his death considered to be a suicide.<\/p>\n

Mansouri was wanted over receiving a 500,000-euro ($592,000) bribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
