Iran's anti-vice police chief 'caught in brothel'

Iran has arrested Tehran's chief of police, who was in charge of fighting vice, after he was caught last month with six nude women, a spokesman for the judiciary said on Tuesday.

Police chief Gen. Reza Zarei, was caught in a police raid on an underground brothel and found with six naked women believed to be prostitutes, which is illegal in Iran.



His case is under investigation, spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi said, refusing to elaborate.

Zarei was in charge of a program to clean cities from corruption and has arrested plenty of young men and women for illicit relationships or not respecting the Islamic dress code.
