TEHRAN -- A court in Tehran has sentenced a man to death and jailed two others for life in what is believed to be Iran's biggest bank fraud case. A ruling released Tuesday said the court passed the death sentence on Fazel Khodadad, the main defendant in the case involving the embezzlement of about 65 billion rials ($21.7 million at the official rate) from state-run Bank Saderat. Morteza Rafiqdoust and bank employee Abutaleb Ebrahimi were sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to pay fines.
