NCRI –\u00a0According to a report by the Revolutionary Guard\u2019s \u201cFars\u201d news agency on September 17, \u201cYashar Soltani\u201d the director responsible for Memarinews website has been arrested by the regime\u2019s judiciary. Soltani was the first to report on the assignment of 2200-billion-Toman properties belonging to Tehran municipality.<\/p>\n
According to Sadegh Kashani, Soltani\u2019s lawyer, his client is faced with three complaints, one of which belongs to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Tehran Mayor, suing the website for reporting on the details of the assignment of properties belonging to Tehran municipality to a number of officials and members of the City Council of Tehran with major discounts.<\/p>\n
Ghalibaf, regime\u2019s mayor in Tehran, as well as Mehdi Chamran, Chairman of the City Council of Tehran, are two of the main plaintiffs of Memarinews chief editor. The website was blocked due to the complaints of these two.<\/p>\n
It should be pointed out that Memarinews had recently revealed that Tehran municipality had given some properties located in Northern Tehran over to a number of municipality\u2019s managers, members of the City Council, a member of Iranian regime\u2019s parliament, a chief of police and a number of officials and oppressive agents of the security forces with 50 percent discount.<\/p>\n
A member of the City Council of Tehran had acknowledged that those who have taken the properties are also enjoying low-interest major loans amounting to 400-million Tomans.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Iranian regime\u2019s General Inspection Office issued a statement on Saturday September 3, announcing that the published letter of that office on Tehran Municipality\u2019s violations was only a \u201cconfidential question\u201d and not a \u201cfinal conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement of regime\u2019s General Inspection Office was related to a report on Memarinews website which included an image of a letter belonging to that office. In the letter, Tehran municipality was accused of \u201cembezzlement and fraud\u201d as well as wasting public property worth 2200 billion Tomans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
