170 Majlis candidates controversy[edit]
In 2015, in an open letter to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mohammad Reza Rahimi claimed that during Iranian legislative election, 2008, Abdali has paid money to 170 candidates.[5] Immediately, 30 MPs called for the list to be publicized; however, the request was withdrawn shortly afterwards.[6] According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has forwarded the list of 170 MPs to Iranian Judiciary.[7] The amount of money is reported to be about 12,000,000,000 Rials.[8]
