TEHRAN - A majority of Iranian lawmakers have asked Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani to decisively deal with the case of a major ring of corrupt government employees.

Larijani announced on Sunday that the judicial system had arrested 11 members of a ring of corrupt employees who embezzled millions of dollars by forging government documents.
Ayatollah Larijani stated that 11 key members of the ring have been arrested and all of them have made confessions.
In a letter sent to the Judiciary chief on Wednesday, 216 MPs also thanked him for his efforts to ensure that the members of the gang were arrested.
But the MPs said that based on the available information, the embezzlement ring has been active in more than one state organization and therefore the rest of its members should be tracked down and arrested.
They said they have been informed that certain people with high-ranking positions played more active roles in the ring than those who have been arrested.
The lawmakers urged Larijani to deal with all the members of the ring, regardless of their positions
