FOR THE PAST two years, while he was languishing in Tehran’s Evin Prison, the world seemed to forget Iranian billionaire Babak Zanjani. But he returned to the headlines on March 6, when an Iranian court sentenced him to death.
Zanjani’s story is that of a man who came from nowhere and amassed mind-boggling wealth providing illicit services to Iran’s government, in the biggest publicly known money-laundering scheme in the country’s memory. His demise was quick and brutal.
