He continued: "Money laundering happens in all over the world, including in our country, and some people have key cases in this regard. So the opponents of these bills are accused of "Money Laundering". This is while, the minister has emphasized in his letter that he didn't meant a particular person."
Following recent statement by Iran's foreign minister, "Mohammad Javad Zarif" over money laundering in the country, and the necessity to deal with this phenomenon, it was said that the Attorney General asked Zarif through a letter to submit its own documentation on money laundering to the judiciary.
