Iran’s Central Bank Governor Mahmoud Bahmani rejected claims of illegal movements of money by a Tehran court, which ruled that he should be dismissed, state-media reported.
The withdrawals were legal and had the government’s backing, Bahmani said. “The matter of withdrawing from bank accounts by the Central Bank was fully in line with the government’s approval and all documents are available,” he was quoted as saying yesterday by the state-run Mehr news agency.
