According to Iranian Foreign Ministry Abbas Mousavi, Romania has not shared any information regarding a fugitive Iranian judge who died in their country on June 19. Mousavi said June 29, “This case has many ambiguities. At the moment that this happened, we asked the Romanian government to be transparent and put the necessary information before us.” He continued, “Until now, unfortunately, nothing has been provided from the Romanian government.”
Gholamreza Mansouri, a former judge on Iran's Supreme Court, fell out of an upper-floor window earlier in the month. He was wanted in Iran on charges of receiving over $500,000 in bribes. When Mansouri left Iran, he had claimed he was going to Germany for medical treatment. It is unclear why he ended up in Romania, but he had maintained that he would return to Iran.
