Wikipedia description:
Gholamhossein Karbaschi (Persian: غلامحسین کرباسچی, romanized: Gholām-Hosein Karbāschī, Persian pronunciation: [ɣolɑːmhoˈsein kaɾbɑːsˈt͡ʃiː]; born 23 August 1954) is an Iranian politician and former Shia cleric who was the Mayor of Tehran from 1990 until 1998. He is considered politically reformist and is a close ally of former president Mohammad Khatami. He was arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned on corruption charges in what the New York Times claimed "was widely seen among moderates as a politically motivated attack" by the government's conservatives and hard-liners to thwart President Mohammad Khatami's reformist agenda. He was the General Secretary of Executives of Construction Party until 2021.
