Iran Parliament Raps Ahmadinejad over Oil Cash
(Reuters) Iranian lawmakers accused Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government on Monday of failing to deposit billions of petrodollars with the Treasury, as the parliament's budget committee voted to refer the case of the missing oil receipts to the judiciary, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported. "Based on our estimates, the value of exported crude and condensates by the end of summer (March 21-Sept 22) amounted to $53.2 billion, from which $6.4 billion should have been deposited with country's Treasury funds," budget committee spokesman Mehdi Fathias said. "However, the Central Bank has only deposited $2.4 billion with the Treasury," Fathi said.
