Iran judiciary investigates Ahmadinejad-era hiring practices
In Iran’s latest corruption case, the administration of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stands accused of overseeing the hiring of hundreds of thousands of unqualified ministerial staff members.
The spokesman for a parliamentary investigative committee has said that cases of personnel violations under the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad administration have been sent to the judiciary.
Mostafa Afzali Fard, spokesman for the Iranian Parliament’s Article 90 Commission, did not specify which cases or officials in the previous administration were under investigation. However, he told the Islamic Consultative Assembly News Agency that the judiciary had a responsibility to attend to the cases “with speed.”
