Mohammad-Ali Ramin, who is most famous in Iran for his firm denials of the Holocaust, has been accused by a former colleague of corruption while he was deputy culture minister for media affairs from November 2009 through last month. The daily Mardom Salari quoted Mohammad Hossain Khoshvakht, who was Ramin’s deputy for the foreign press, as saying Ramin assigned 1.3 billion rials ($130,000) in subsidies to a newspaper that was never published.
