TEHRAN – Iran's Ambassador to London Hamid Baeidinejad said on Tuesday that Abdolrasul Dorri Esfahani, who has been sentenced to five years in jail on espionage charges, was not a member of Iran’s nuclear negotiating team with the P5+1 group.

He was an advisor to the nuclear negotiating team whose specialty was used on demand, Baeidinejad was quoted by ISNA as saying.

The Judiciary announced on Sunday that conviction against Dorri Esfahani on charges of spying for foreign intelligence services and leaking information have been upheld.
