Politicians who are victims of Honey Trap Case

Asadollah Asadi (born 1972) is the third diplomat of the embassy in Austria. He was arrested while returning to his residence in Austria on a highway in the German state of Bavaria on June 10, 2018, accused of being involved in an attempted bombing at a gathering of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (a political organisation opposing the regime) in Villepinte, north of Paris. While Asadi was entitled to diplomatic immunity in the country of his posting, Austria, he did not have political immunity on German soil, although Iran objected, saying that it regarded the detention of Assadollah Assadi as unlawful and a violation of international law and the provisions of the 1961 Vienna Convention.
