GADGDAD, Aug 14 (YPA) – The Iraqi Judicial authorities issued on Sunday a decision to freeze the assets of the country’s former oil minister over charges of corruption and receiving bribery, Iraqi state media (INA), reported
“The al-Karkh investigation court, specialized in integrity cases, has ruled to freeze the movable and immovable assets of former Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar, on account of exploiting his position and receiving bribes from several investors with contracts with the oil ministry,” INA cited an unnamed judicial court as saying.
This comes after the Iraqi Federal Commission of Integrity announced its continuation of the war on corruption and corrupters, in early August, vowing to launch a major fateful battle against corruption in Iraq.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani had earlier stressed that his government is serious about fighting corruption, and will not exclude anyone accused of corruption cases, regardless of their positions.
