Former Iran Central Bank chairman denies ever meeting Zarrab
The former head of Iran’s Central Bank said he never met with jailed Turkish-Iranian tycoon Reza Zarrab.
Iran’s former Central Bank head Mahmoud Bahmani, reacting to Iranian-Turkish tycoon Reza Zarrab’s recent statements in a US court, says he never met with Zarrab.
In his testimony in a New York trial, Zarrab, who was arrested in the United States on March 19, 2016, explained how he helped Iran bypass US sanctions. He said he had meetings with Bahmani and had ties with former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
