Spying arrest

-

A member of Iran’s nuclear negotiatio­n team was accused of espionage activities and arrested, the country’s judiciary confirmed yesterday. A spokesman for Iran’s judiciary, Gholamhose­in Mohseni Ejehi, said a suspect had been released on parole but was still under investigat­ion. ‘‘He is still in limbo and may or may not be convicted,’’ Ejehi said. The suspect was not named. Last week, news agencies loyal to Iranian hard-liners had named Abdolrasou­l Dorri Esfahani – a negotiator who was working on lifting economic sanctions in tandem with the nuclear deal – as having been arrested.
