Tasnim news agency, run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, confirmed that Mo\u2019oud Shamkhani was arrested on charges of &#8220;bribery and financial corruption&#8221; in Abadan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the published text in government media is nearly uniform and indicative of a directive issued from centers of power. However, Iran&#8217;s clerical regime has a history of using the arrest of individuals close to the state as a result of power struggles and the sidelining of influential figures. Furthermore, these cases have been exploited for propaganda purposes, with the regime aiming to present itself as impartial in combating corruption while masking the systematic looting of the nation&#8217;s wealth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The state-run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entekhab.ir\/fa\/news\/779188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Entekhab website wrote<\/a> on April 28, &#8220;An informed source confirmed the arrest of Mo\u2019oud Shamkhani, former technical deputy of the Arvand Free Trade Zone Organization, and nephew of Ali Shamkhani, former secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, stating, \u2018He has been arrested on charges of bribery and financial corruption in Abadan. Mo\u2019oud Shamkhani was appointed as the technical and infrastructure deputy of the Arvand Free Trade Zone Organization in 2015.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Arvand Free Trade Zone encompasses an area of approximately 34,700 hectares, including industrial towns in Abadan, Khorramshahr, Shalamcheh, and Minushahr.
