A news agency affiliated with security institutions in Iran reported, citing its source, that there are four more suspects in the case of Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, stating that the case is 'in the interrogation phase.' Fars News Agency today, Tuesday, January 1, reported that according to its 'informed security source,' the charges against 'Amir Tataloo' include 'producing and distributing obscene materials,' 'operating a betting website,' 'encouraging, enticing, or threatening individuals to access obscene content,' and 'inciting and encouraging individuals to commit crimes against chastity and sexual deviations.' These charges are being raised by government-affiliated media while judicial authorities have not yet announced any official charges against this controversial singer. The published report did not mention the names of the other suspects in this case. It is also unclear whether 'Tataloo' has access to legal counsel and a chosen lawyer after his arrest. Last week, media in Iran denied the news circulating on social media about the issuance of bail for 'Amir Tataloo.' ILNA reported in this regard that 'yesterday, a claim circulated on social media stating that some family members of Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as Tataloo, were contacted and informed that there is a possibility of bail being issued for him.' Accordingly, it has been announced that the results of the investigation into Tataloo's case show that the 'claim of possible bail issuance' for him is false. Continuing the controversies surrounding Amir Tataloo's case, Rokna news agency also reported that sources indicate that two of Tataloo's accusers are the families of two Iranian girls who 'committed suicide in Turkey encouraged and incited by Tataloo.' Currently, Tataloo is in custody, and his case, according to official media in Iran, is being investigated by the security prosecutor's office on charges of 'spreading and promoting corruption and prostitution.' Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as 'Tataloo,' was handed over to Iran by Turkish police at the Bazargan border on December 6 and was arrested by judicial order and transferred to Tehran after administrative procedures. IRIB stated that one of Tataloo's most significant actions was 'spreading corruption and prostitution' and calling for the presence of minors under 18 at his residence in Istanbul. Qasem Baadi: 'With the history of the judiciary of the Islamic Republic, a fair trial awaits Tataloo.' Shahla Shafigh: 'Amir Tataloo is a product of a society where love is forbidden and assault is legitimate.'
