TEHRAN – Hassan Norouzi, a spokesman with the Majlis Legal and Judicial Committee, said on Monday that a new organization with the aim of fighting economic corruption is set to be formed.

Norouzi said the plan was discussed with the presence of Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani. Under the plan, an independent organization headed by one of the most experienced judges will be formed, which will operate under the Judiciary, he added, IRNA reported.

The organization, he said, will act separately from other judicial bodies and will handle economic cases that involve over 50 billion rials (nearly $1,176,000).
