[7] In the third episode of the fourth season of the fourth series, Linda Kiani, who is always a quiet player and doesn't give strong reasons in her play and usually plays sensuously–she was very quiet in the fifth season of the fourth series that even several times some players like Hamed Ahangi and Khodadad Azizi asked her why is she not active in the game–insisted a lot on the fact that Iman Safa is a mafia and she didn't give a strong reason.

During the game, Linda gestured to the three remaining citizens and convinced them to vote for Iman to leave.

This episode brought a lot of criticism from the audience, because people believed that Linda had cheated, and Iman also stated this in his words.

[8] In the second episode of the fifth season of the fourth series, the mafia were quickly found without a strong reason.

I am a mafia and I won't be killed by the first shot at night because of my ability (bodyguard).

[12] After the airing of this episode, everyone was convinced that the game was rigged and because Majid Vasheghani had suggested to vote for the first mafia, Hossein Mehri, on the first day, he was severely attacked in social networks by the viewers of the series.

Also, before the start of the game, when the players usually talk about the previous game and make comments or joke with each other, two players, Iman Safa and Majid Vasheghani, made jokes about Hamed before the start of this episode, which the audience called it mocking.

[15] Iman Safa wrote a comment under that post and said "In my opinion, it was by far the worst and most immoral game in the entire Mafia Nights series.

Following the attack of negative comments of the audience on the official Instagram page of the Mafia Nights series, people criticized and said that this episode should not have been aired because it was clearly rigged and even two players, Iman Safa and Maryam Momen, after finishing the game, said that it was a bad episode and they did not enjoy the game.

The audience said that Hamed did not apologize for his behavior because he had done nothing wrong, but Mafia Nights series published this video with this caption to deny the frauds.

Then Hamed posted a story on his Instagram and wrote that Majid Vasheghani and Iman Safa are excellent players without cheating.

On July 13, 2022, Hossein Mehri went live on Instagram and said "In the second episode, things happened that I preferred to tell people.

I made it clear right there in front of everyone (which was removed from the episode), the atmosphere became a bit heavy and the players who were mafia were upset that cheating was taking place.

The citizens were also upset and those people who cheated were a little worried and this did not create a good atmosphere for the game.

From the very beginning, it was clear that I was a mafia, and some help had arrived, and that's why Hamed Ahangi made this decision after I left, and that was the end of the story.

[21] His words led the fans to attack Ali Oji, who made exactly these two accusations in that episode.

In the continuation of his words, Hamed said that some players bring a person with them behind the stage and show them signs and cheat.

On August 6, 2022, the official Instagram page of the Mafia Nights series posted a photo of Saeed Aboutaleb, the creator, director and producer of Mafia Nights, and wrote in the caption that he will be doing a live stream soon, and will explain somethings about the comments of some players on the game.

On August 20, 2022, Filimo renewed Mafia Nights for the fifth series and it will be directed by Sina Dourandishan, produced by Mohammad Reza Rezaeean and Saeed Aboutaleb has left the Mafia Nights series.

On August 22, 2022, at 8:00 PM, Aboutaleb went live on Instagram and said "I spoke to players who said the game was rigged.

Mafia nights had become repetitive for the audience due to the large number of episodes and seasons and the usual rules and methods.

Kaveh Afagh and Mohammad Reza Alimardani have sung pieces separately for "Mafia Nights", which were broadcast over the final credits.
