Tehran's police chief, Reza Zarei, has been arrested after he was
found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, the Farda
news website reported Wednesday.
Zarei stepped down from his post following the raid, the report said.
According to another popular Iranian website, Gooya, the order to
raid the brothel was given directly by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi
Shahroudi, chief of the judicial authorities.
Over the past year Zarei was in charge of enforcing the Islamic dress
code on Iranian women with the purpose of "moralizing of the city."
It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people
have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of
behavior.
Rumors of the brothel incident had been spreading in Iran for the
past two weeks, and last week Zarei was replaced after four years as
chief of police in Tehran.
The arrest was not reported by any of Iran's official news agencies.
Farda News, which broke the story, is a website said to be close to
the mayor of Tehran and former chief of the police forces, Mohammed
Bagher Qalibaf and is considered reliable.
