“This morning, the sentences of four main members of the gang of mobsters related to the Zionist intelligence service were executed,” the Iranian judiciary’s Mizan Online website said.
It was unclear how the four had been executed.
IRNA said that the alleged members of the spy ring had received funds from Mossad as cryptocurrency, and had been engaged in theft, destruction of public and private property, and kidnapping.
