Azerbaijan, Baku, July 17/ Trend F.Karimov/
Documents related to financial corruption, amounting to 100 trillion rials (about $4 billion), at Iran's Social Security Organization have been lost, Persian-language daily newspaper Qanoon reported.
The documents had been kept in a locked room in the organization and the keys of the room had been just held by a parliamentary investigation group. But, once the group decided to get access to the documents, they found out that the room with all the documents has been destroyed. There is no one accountable for the incident.
"The documents contained results of the investigation group which were shockingly alarming and in some cases unimaginable," the newspaper quoted a member of the group as saying.
Soleiman Jafarzadeh, the head of the investigation group, has said that over 50,000 sheets of paper related to the massive financial fraud had been lost.
"I will perform my duties and will inform people of violations Ahmadinejad and his allies have done in the Social Security Organization," Jafarzadeh said.
Saeed Mortazavi has been the head of the organization since March 2011.
A parliamentary report issued on January 10, 2010 found Mortazavi, who was the Tehran prosecutor general at the time, responsible for sending 147 inmates, charged with involvement in the political unrest after the presidential election of June 2009, to Tehran's substandard Kahrizak detention center on July 9, 2009.
After parliamentary follow-ups, the Court of Administrative Justice announced on January 14, 2013 that the decree appointing Mortazavi to the post had been revoked.
