Member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Abdul Amir Al-Mayahi, revealed
new moves to proceed with amending the election law again, noting that
Parliament is coordinating an agreement between the Iraqi and international Interpol to arrest fleeing corrupt people.
Al-Mayahi said in an interview followed by Mawazine News:
“There is an agreement between the Iraqi Interpol and the International Interpol, to pursue any wanted person in any country, in an effort by the Iraqi Interpol to arrest the wanted persons and hand them over to the Iraqi government, and there is effective coordination with Interpol in this regard.” He added.
“The Integrity Committee works independently and seeks to collect the required documents regarding those accused of corruption, and
upon obtaining proof, the committee will work to request hosting the concerned official if he is present inside the country, while submitting recommendations to the relevant authorities.” He continued,
“The committee is not responsible for prosecuting the wanted individuals.”
On charges of corruption outside the country, it is the responsibility of the Federal Integrity Commission and the Iraqi and international Interpol if there are arrest warrants for certain figures of state employees who have committed corruption and of the Integrity Commission or the Public Prosecution.”
