Shafaq News- Al-Diwaniyah
Three former and current senior
officials from Iraq’s Al-Diwaniyah Municipality were detained early Saturday in an
anti-corruption operation, a source told Shafaq News.
The Falcons Intelligence Cell,
accompanied by a team from Iraq’s Federal Commission of Integrity, arrested
former Al-Diwaniyah Municipality directors Ali Rahman and Hatif Suwaid, along with
the municipality’s current projects director, Ali Aflouk.
Authorities, according to the
source, continue to pursue others suspected of involvement in alleged
corruption cases linked to the municipality, including investigations into
alleged “ghost projects” and irregularly issued checks worth hundreds
of millions of Iraqi dinars.
