Zarrab indictment expanded to include Turkey as 'crime scene'

An indictment for Reza Zarrab, an Iranian-born Turkish businessman who was arrested in Miami a month ago over attempting to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran, has expanded from New York to include "Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere" as places where the crime may have been committed.

Let's not talk about the unknown. Did Reza Zarrab, a Turkish businessman of Iranian origin, go to the U.S. knowing he would be arrested? Is the U.S. attorney Preet Bharara going to suggest that Ankara has been trying to protect Zarrab from Turkey's Dec. 17, 2013 corruption case?
