Baghdad (AIN) –MP, Qusai al-Ebadi, of the Iraqiya Slate described the procedures against the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq as "Exaggerated and of political purposes."

In a press statement received by AIN on Wednesday "The central government is targeting Shibibi where the procedures against him should be done by the parliament where it is responsible for replacing any officials."

"The accusations against Shibibi are too early where this issue is not settled yet," he added.

"We are waiting for Shibibi to attend the court to reveal the facts," he pointed out, noting that "I trust Shibi and I do not think that he is involved in corruption issues."

Earlier, The head of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Baha al-Araji, described the arrest warrant against the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Sinan al-Shibibi, as "Immature", expecting that it was issued for "political purposes similar to the case with the former independent committees."

Speaking to All Iraq News Agency (AIN) on Tuesday, he said "The arrest warrant against Shibibi is real and exists, but we think that the procedures against the CBI are immature because Iraq witnesses a hard situation."

"The CBI is not less important than the Interior and Defense Ministries where it might affect the security situation in Iraq and result in the reduction of the Iraqi currency towards the foreign currencies," he added.

"The arrest warrant against Shibibi was a judicial one because it was issued by a specialist side," he added, wondering about "The late response towards the corruption issues referred to the Integrity Committee while this issue was settled within three days."

"The former investigations of the Integrity Committee over the corruption issues in the CBI revealed that there is a corruption in the CBI, but it is related to the officials in the CBI and not Shibibi himself," he pointed out, assuring that "The issue of the CBI is of political purposes as it was done with the other independent committees."

Earlier, the Council of Ministers tasked the head of the Financial Supervision Department, Abdul Basit Turki, to run the Iraqi Central Bank as a substitute for the current Governor of the CBI, Sinan al-Shibibi.


The Iraqiya Satellite Channel quoted the Advisor of the Premier, Ali al-Musawi, as saying "The Council of Ministers decided to task Turki to run the CBI till further notice."


It is worth mentioning that a source from the Parliamentary Committee tasked to investigate the corruption cases in the Iraqi Central Bank revealed that "The Governor of the ICB, Sinan al-Shibibi, called the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, to dismiss four Directors in the Bank for their involvement in corruption cases."


The source stated to AIN "Shibibi have asked Maliki since three years to dismiss the four directors for they are responsible of the corruption taking place in the ICB yet Maliki rejected."
