Golriz Ghahraman

‘There is nowhere near a material contribution of her mental health to the shoplifting,’ said a prosecutor.

Golriz Ghahraman has admitted she stole from stores in Auckland and Wellington. She is likely to seek a discharge without conviction, a legal expert predicts.

The alleged incident involving 43-year-old MP Golriz Ghahraman, who is the Green Party’s Justice Spokesperson, took place two days before Christmas.
