The Judiciary News Agency reported that Rashid Mazaheri, former goalkeeper of the national football team and Esteghlal Tehran, has been "arrested while attempting to illegally exit the western borders of Iran."

In this report, Mazaheri is accused of "planning to leave the country by changing his appearance and bribing border guards."

The Judiciary did not mention the time of this former national football player's arrest.

After the massacre of protesters on December 18 and 19, Mazaheri had released a video on February 24, blaming Ali Khamenei for the deaths of the protesters. After the release of that video, there was no news about his situation for a long time.

The Mizan news agency has reported that Mazaheri is currently in the "general section of the prison" and is set to be tried on charges of "bribing a government official," "propaganda activities against national security in wartime," and "attempting to cross the border illegally."
