Azerbaijan, Baku Aug. 14 / Trend, D. Khatinoglu
Iran doesn't have any official information on whereabouts of Iranian-born Briton Abbas Yazdanpanah Yazdi, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi said, Fars news agency reported.
Abbas Yazdanpanah Yazdi, 44, disappeared from his office in Dubai in June, and has been missing since.
Relatives and friends of Yazdi, say they believe he has been smuggled out of the UAE to Iran.
"We do not have any information on him," Araqchi said. "Iran even co-operated with UAE, and asked to provide some information on the case."
According to The Guardian newspaper in the UK, addresses and other details, copied from Mr Yazdi's computer by investigators from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) when he lived in London, were passed to Tehran at the request of the Iranian authorities earlier this year.
Previously, it was reported that Yazdi could've been kidnapped as part of an effort to obtain evidence against Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani, son of the former Iranian president, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
Mehdi Rafsanjani is a close friend of Mr Yazdi's from childhood. He lived in the UK for three years but returned to Iran in 2012 and was arrested for allegedly inciting unrest following the 2009 re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president.
