Mahafarid Amir-Khosravi, also known as Mansour Aria, was hanged at Tehran’s Evin prison on Saturday after being convicted of a scam that was said to have cost Iranian banks nearly £1.5 bn.

Alongside Khosravi, 39 defendants were convicted for fraud, with four others being sentenced to death.

According to Khosravi’s lawyers, the execution had taken place in secret and without their knowledge.

Gholam Ali Riahi, Khosravi's lawyer told Iranian news website khabaronline.ir that “he had not been informed of the execution,” and that Khosravi’s assets were at the “disposal of the prosecutor’s office.”

The crimes that led to Khosravi’s death related to a massive campaign of fraud that had started in 2007.

The fraud involved Khosravi forging documents to get credit from Iran’s biggest bank, Bank Saderat.
