Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s brother Hossein Fereydoun has been arrested after failing to post the bail set for him, the Judiciary spokesman says.

Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Eje’i, the Spokesman for the Iranian Judiciary, declared in his weekly press conference on Sunday that Fereydoun, the president’s brother and top aide, was sent to prison after he failed to put up the bail set by the Judiciary on Saturday.

Mohsen Eje’i said he is arrested on financial charges, and the Judiciary has conducted series of investigations about him.
