The arrested Turkish-Iranian businessman Reza Zarrab, who is being tried in the U.S. on charges of fraud, violating sanctions on Iran, committing bankruptcy fraud, and laundering money, has reportedly been diagnosed with depression. 

A jury trial against Turkish-Iranian businessman Reza Zarrab that was scheduled to begin on Jan. 23, 2017, has been suspended until Oct. 16 after the judge in the fraud case ruled that the defendant's legal team required extra time to prepare for an additional indictment regarding Zarrab's alleged ties to Hezbollah.
