Three sentenced to death for Fakhrizadeh killing
“The judicial processes of these three people were carried out in the Revolutionary Court of Urmia, and they were sentenced to death in the initial stage, and the case is currently in the appeal stage,” judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir told a Tehran press conference.
Fakhrizadeh was killed when his car was ambushed on a highway outside the capital in November 2020, in an attack Iran blamed on Israel.
“After some investigations, three people out of eight arrested in West Azarbaijan Province, were accused of committing espionage for the occupying regime of Israel,” Jahangir said.
He added that the three are also “accused of transporting equipment into Iran for the assassination of martyr Fakhrizadeh under the guise of smuggling alcoholic beverages.”
