>Zanjani was convicted of "corruption on earth", the most serious offence in Iran's criminal code.

Exactly.

Quoting the relevant parts of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mofsed-e-filarz

>Mofsed-e-filarz is the title of capital crimes (or the person guilty of them) in the Islamic Republic of Iran, that has been translated in English language sources variously as "spreading corruption on Earth", "spreading corruption that threatens social and political well-being", "corrupt of the earth; one who is charged with spreading corruption", "gross offenders of the moral order" and "enemies of God on Earth".

>The charge as enforced by the Islamic Republic of Iran has been called "a catchall indictment of political dissent" and carries the death sentence

>According to at least one source, Mofsed-e-filarz was first introduced as a crime in the Islamic Republic of Iran by Ayatollah Khomeini. It was used by Islamic Republican judicial authorities in the early days of the Iranian Revolution, resulting in many imprisonments and executions. Possibly more than 8,000 people suffered that fate, ranging from former members of the Shah's government, leaders of opposition or terrorist groups, or simply opponents of the regime.

>The Criminal Codes of the IRI that include Mofsed-e-filarz were adopted in 1996 by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, some changes were made in 2012. [...] Article 284 states that those subject to execution include, “Whosoever engages extensively in:

> - commission of widespread crime against masses
> - crimes against homeland or external security
> - spreading rumors and/or uttering slander
> - financial malfeasance in the affairs of the State
> - spreading hazardous and poisonous substances
> - establishing brothels or involvement in their operation, causing extensive disturbance in public order
> - causing security risks or inflicting substantial physical harm to individuals or damage to public or private properties
> - widespread moral corruption and offences

>one billionaire sentenced to death

you've never lived in a truly corrupt country, it seems.

corruption is one of the worst things to happen to a nation. it cripples the economy, destroys a people's morals and creates an enviroment where the most rich are the law.

i can tell from experience. the pakistani police is the most subhuman police on this earth. they won't even let you cross the street without paying them a bribe.
females who go to the police in order to report crimes are raped in the police station.
lawlessness is the result of such corruption. it should be no surprise that groups such as the taliban are gaining support, their justice is swift and adequate.

i am not a fan of iran. but this is how you deal with corruption. iran in particular has suffered from widespread corruption under ahmadinedjad, someone has to put an end to it.
