HRANA – The Judiciary’s Media Center announced the seizure of assets belonging to 52 citizens in Zanjan Province. Seven of the individuals, who reside in Iran, have been arrested.

According to Mizan News Agency, the Chief Justice of Zanjan Province announced the confiscation of assets belonging to a number of citizens in the province.

According to the report, the assets of 52 individuals described as “linked to networks cooperating with the enemy” were seized by judicial order. The confiscated assets include bank holdings, cash and foreign currency, movable and immovable property, and gold. Seven of these individuals have been arrested, while the remaining owners are reportedly residing outside the country.

The report states that of the total confiscations, 33 cases were in the city of Zanjan, 15 in Abhar, and three in Khorramdarreh. In addition, the assets of another individual with property in Tehran and Khodabandeh County were also seized.

The Chief Justice of Zanjan Province claimed that the measure was carried out within the framework of “protecting public rights” and based on laws related to “espionage and cooperation with the Zionist regime.” He added that the cases against these individuals are under investigation.

The report did not disclose the identities of the individuals, the exact timing of the arrests, the locations where the detainees are being held, or details of the charges brought against them.

Following the start of military attacks on Iran, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of the judiciary, announced that judicial orders had been issued to confiscate and seize assets linked to what he described as “elements cooperating with the enemy inside and outside the country.” He also threatened these individuals with execution, stating: “One of the punishments prescribed in this regard is execution, and following investigations, one of the legal punishments will be applied to the individuals concerned.”

Following the issuance of this directive by the judiciary, the “Saham” smart financial inquiry system was launched. Through this system, prosecutor’s offices and courts across the country are now able to quickly and online identify citizens’ assets and property and take the necessary steps to confiscate them.
