Almost $5 billion of Iran government money for imports is missing
2020-04-18
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Almost five billion dollars of the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s money is missing, says the Director of the Supreme Audit Court of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
(SAC), Adel Azar.

Based on the official rate of 42,000 rials for one dollar, the Islamic Theocratic Republic government distributes billions of cheap dollars among local importers to buy essential goods from overseas. Many of these importers are politically well-connected individuals.

Nevertheless, according to the SAC director, Adel Azar, $4.8 billion has been distributed, but no goods and products have been imported. The cheap dollars provided by the government for imports is in effect a subsidy.

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
Azar stopped short of naming the companies that received the missing dollars and did not mention what products were supposed to be imported with the money.

Speaking to a public session of Majles (Iranian parliament) on Tuesday, April 14, Azar disclosed that the government had distributed a total of $31 billion, on the official rate, to import essential goods to the country.

#8  He and Foreign Minister Zarif are close pals .. families are now connected by marriage.

Don't be surprised if those two families have salted away an 8-figure sum skimmed off of the cash-pallet
