Jaber Ebdali (Persian: جابر ابدالی) is an Iranian businessman and white-collar criminal. His name became publicly known in April 2010, when MP Elyas Naderan wrote an open letter to Mohammad Reza Rahimi and named him as a member of "Fatemi Circle".[4]
See main article: Iran Insurance embezzlement case. A key member of "Fatemi Circle", he was convicted of embezzlement and forgery in "Iran Insurance" and is now in prison.[1]
In 2015, in an open letter to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mohammad Reza Rahimi claimed that during Iranian legislative election, 2008, Ebdali has paid money to 170 candidates.[5] Immediately, 30 MPs called for the list to be publicized; however, the request was withdrawn shortly afterwards.[6] According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has forwarded the list of 170 MPs to Iranian Judiciary.[7] The amount of money is reported to be about 12,000,000,000 Rials.[8]
