Iran has sentenced four people to death for their roles in last-year’s
billion-dollar banking fraud scandal. The embezzlement case, discovered in
September 2011, revolved around forged documents allegedly used by the
directors of an Iranian investment company to secure loans totaling $2.6
billion to buy state-owned enterprises. Thirty-nine people were tried for their
involvement in the fraud.
"Four of the accused were sentenced to death," Prosecutor General Qolam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei announced. “Two others were sentenced to life imprisonment and others received sentences up to 25 years imprisonment.” (IRNA, 30 July).
Ejei did not name the individuals sentenced to death.
