Fatemi Circle (Persian: حلقه فاطمی‎‎) is a nickname given to a Financial corruption gang in Iran, consisting of statesmen nurtured during Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government. The gang became publicly known in April 2010, when Elyas Naderan, a Majlis member stated “Mr. Rahimi is the head of the corruption circle in Fatemi Street who made decisions about collecting resources from corrupt sources and about their distribution and now almost all members of this economically corrupt network in Fatemi Street have been arrested except the current First Vice President of Iran.” The claim was backed by Ahmad Tavakkoli and Ali Motahari.
