An Iranian court has jailed a former general manager of Arj, Iran’s largest appliance manufacturer, for 15 years and given seven others shorter prison terms for graft, reported the official Iranian news agency (IRNA).
The court ordered former general manager Abbas Dadgar to pay more than $12 million in fines for graft, embezzlement and mismanagement at the state-run company, IRNA said.
Dadgar was also banned from holding government posts for 10 years.
Six other men and a woman, mostly company officials arrested with Dadgar in December 1999, received jail sentences ranging from six months to five years and were ordered to pay smaller fines – Albawaba.com
