سخنگوی قوه قضاییه: حکم‌ اعدام بابک زنجانی با عفو رهبر جمهوری اسلامی نقض و به ۲۰ سال زندان‌ تبديل شد

Asghar Jahangir, the spokesperson for the judiciary, said at a press conference:

The ruling in Babak Zanjani's case was issued by Branch 38 of the Supreme Court in 2016, and it was anticipated that if he returned the assets and expressed remorse, he could be eligible for a reduction in his sentence.

Through this individual's cooperation over ten years in prison, assets were identified abroad and returned to the country. The Tehran Prosecutor's Office submitted a request for clemency for Babak Zanjani, and with the approval of the Supreme Leader, his death sentence was overturned and converted to 20 years in prison.
