The Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Iranian regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force (IRGC-QF), reported on Tuesday that the \u201cfinancial manager of the oil ministry\u201d was arrested while trying to leave the country with $25 million.<\/p>\n
Based on this report, the suspect had \u201cwired the money to a moneychanger\u2019s account\u201d and \u201cintended to leave the country on Tuesday\u201d.<\/p>\n
=\u201cThe moneychanger was also arrested, and his account has been closed,\u201d Tasnim added.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the oil ministry’s Shana News Agency elusively reported that during financial accountability of a \u201csecond-layer contractor company of the Oil Ministry\u201d it was clarified that \u201csignificant amounts of currency\u201d was in the account of a moneychanger and any \u201cprobable fund misuse\u201d was prevented with the interference of the judiciary and the Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS).<\/p>\n
Shana also denied the existence of the title \u201cfinancial manager\u201d in the Oil Ministry\u2019s organization and called Tasnim\u2019s report \u201cfalse and fabricated by specific people.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is the second time in recent months that Intelligence Ministry agents enter cases of oil executives.<\/p>\n
In recent months, members of the regime\u2019s Majlis (parliament) with ties to the regime’s supreme leader reported that some of the \u201cauthorities\u201d of the Oil Minister’s office used credit card readers to receive bribes from managers of oil and gas companies and transferred these funds to their personal accounts.<\/p>\n
Abolfaz Abou Turabi, MP from Najaf Abad, said that the security agents found three credit card readers with billions of dollars\u2019 worth of transactions, as well as some cash and gold in the Oil Minister\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Intelligence rejected reports of finding gold in the Oil Minister\u2019s office, as well as the transfer of 100 billion rials to personal accounts using credit card readers, and declared it would continue the investigation about the exact amount of money.<\/p>\n
The MOIS also said that the fraud was done by a contract \u201cemployee\u201d and the ministry has dealt with this person.<\/p>\n
In the midst of conflicting reports from the Iranian regime\u2019s various ministries, billions of dollars of national funds go missing each year in Iran under the mullahs\u2019 corrupt rule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
