Iran has arrested 19 suspects in a bank fraud which is described as the biggest financial corruption scam in Iran’s history.
In what is being perceived as Iran’s biggest financial scam involving some $2.6 billion (€1.9 billion), Iran has arrested 19 individuals and intends to arrest more.
The finance minister and the central bank governor have been summoned to discuss the case in Parliament today.
