{{Iran’s official news agency says a criminal court has summoned outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over a lawsuit filed by the country’s parliament speaker and others.}}<\/p>\n
Monday’s report by IRNA gave no further details, but Ahmadinejad and the speaker, Ali Larijani, have waged political feuds for years. <\/p>\n
In February, Ahmadinejad released a barely audible videotape that purported to show discussion over bribes that included Larijani’s brother.<\/p>\n
A parliamentary committee also joined Larijani in the legal action.<\/p>\n
IRNA, which comes under the president’s authority, noted there were several other subpoenas issued previously against Ahmadinejad. It described the latest as unconstitutional. The court set a November date for Ahmadinejad’s appearance.<\/p>\n
He officially leaves office in August after the swearing-in of President-elect Hasan Rowhani, a relative moderate who won a landslide victory last week.<\/p>\n
