Prosecutors in Milan, Italy are probing two Iranian citizens residing in Italy over alleged threats to Iranian dissidents.
The alleged threats include a reported death-sentence warning to one opposition supporter, Reuters reported, citing judicial documents.
The report stated that the suspects, named in a search warrant as Farshid Jalilian and Rohoulah Adib Ansari, are accused of aggravated threats and association for the purpose of terrorism and subversion of democracy.
According to the report, prosecutors have ordered searches of their homes.
The case follows complaints by several Iranians in Italy who said they were targeted over their opposition to the Tehran government, the report indicated.
In one case cited in the warrant, an Iranian dissident told investigators she received a call saying she had been sentenced to death for supporting the opposition and that her assets in Iran would be seized.
The warrant also says one of the suspects had an Instagram account from which death threats were issued against anyone backing the return to power of exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi.
