Tehran, 10 March (AKI) - Tehran's police chief, Eliot Spitzer Reza Zarei, has been arrested after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, according to report on the Iranian Farda News.
"The only way I'd ever get arrested is to get caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy ..." | Farda News is a website said to be close to the mayor of Tehran and former chief of the police forces, Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf.
Following the raid, Zarei stepped down from his post as police chief.
More than Eliot Spitzer has done so far. | The news of his arrest however was not reported by any official Iranian news agency.
Take note, Iran apologists, even Pinchy has covered the Spitzer story. | According to a popular Iranian website Gooya, the order to raid the brothel was given directly by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, chief of the judicial authorities.
Before he was arrested, Zarei was in charge of the programme for the 'moralisation of the city'. It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of behaviour.
It's just too rich: one thing we know about all people in power, they all have feet of clay. |
