The Debsh Tea company set a new financial record for a corruption case in Iran by diverting over $3.37 billion[1] from the government's subsidized foreign currency for importing tea and equipment for the tea sector. Local Iranian media revealed that the government grants subsidize foreign currency for importing essential goods and medicines, but only privileged individuals can obtain these funds. This incident exposed the endemic corruption that plagues the economy while the government introduced new measures to increase taxes and limit resources for social assistance to disadvantaged segments of society. Officials have denied any involvement, but the complicity of high-ranking politicians is essential for such massive corruption to occur.[2]
This case reveals a systematic corruption scheme. In Iran, no matter who governs, corruption is inevitable in any situation due to favoritism and lack of control and surveillance, said Ahmad Alirezabeigi to Khabar Online.[2][3]
