Hossein Fereydoun, the brother of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, has been released on bail following his arrest on charges of financial crime, media reported.
"The court has accepted the bail" and Fereydoun, who acts as a key adviser to Rouhani, was freed on Monday night, AFP reported with reference to the ISNA news agency.
The amount of bail was not officially disclosed but local media reported that the court had reduced it to 350 billion rials ($9.3 million), from 500 billion rials initially.
The arrest is seen as part of a long-running feud between the presidency and the judiciary that has taken new turns in recent months, particularly before and after Rouhani's re-election in May.
Fereydoun's arrest came a year after the head of the General Inspection Organisation, Naser Seraj, first accused him of financial violations.
