Elite Iranian Leaders Allege Millions Moved Abroad Amid US Sanctions and Crackdown

Members of Iran's ruling elite are allegedly moving 'tens of millions of dollars' out of the country amid US-imposed sanctions over the regime's violent protest crackdown. The sanctions were imposed following reports of widespread human rights abuses during anti-government protests in January. Those involved in the alleged money laundering scheme are reportedly using complex financial networks to evade detection.
