TEHRAN- The chief agent who acted as the ringleader in the unrest in eastern Tehran have been identified and detained, according to the Tehran Intelligence Police office.

Colonel Nader Moradi stressed on Saturday that the agents of the Public Places Supervision Department of the Tehran Intelligence Police were successful in carrying out technological and police measures to locate the primary culprits and ringleaders of the disturbances in eastern Tehran.

“The police investigation showed that, by working in the cyberspace and influenced by the opposition networks, by inciting the youth and using deconstructive slogans, he had intended to create a ground for illegal sit-ins and the formation of the initial core of unrest in the Nezam-Abad neighborhood,” remarked Colonel Moradi, the deputy chief of the Tehran Intelligence Police department in charge of supervising public places.

"With the round-the-clock efforts and intelligence actions of the agents of this department, it was discovered that the defendant is working in a barber shop in the Nezam-Abad neighborhood, who was arrested after identifying his guild and was introduced to the prosecutor's office after filing a court case," Colonel Moradi said.

"Arresting the primary offenders of disturbances is still on the police agenda," Colonel Moradi stated.
