Iran Executes Four Accused Of Working With Israel

Iran has executed four people and handed prison sentences to three others accused of working with Israeli intelligence.

The four individuals were hanged early on Sunday, according to the official news website of the judiciary.

The judiciary called them “thugs” and said they were guided by Israeli intelligence when they engaged in destroying public and private property, theft, kidnappings, and obtaining fake confessions.

According to the judiciary, all the individuals have a history of crimes, and one of them has been imprisoned in Greece between 2014 and 2017 for attempting to traffic humans from Turkey to Greece.

They allegedly received payment in the form of cryptocurrencies and bought weapons and equipment while receiving training on how to destroy evidence, evade security cameras, and swap vehicles.

In addition to the four who were executed, three more received prison sentences of five to 10 years for “committing crimes against national security, being accessories in kidnappings, and possession of firearms”.
