170 Majlis candidates controversy

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. Immediately, 30 MPs called for the list to be publicized; however, the request was withdrawn shortly afterwards. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has forwarded the list of 170 MPs to Iranian Judiciary. The amount of money is reported to be about 12,000,000,000 Rials.
