Iraqi lawmaker urges the parliament to convene as corruption allegations resurface

Following revelations made by Uprightness Commission head Haider Hanoun on the “robbery of the hundred years” and other debasement outrages, someone from Iraq’s Coordination System on Wednesday approached the Iraqi parliament to hold a crisis meeting on Thursday.

“It has become imperative for the House of Representatives to hold an emergency session to discuss what Hanoun revealed through the media,” al-Hilali stated in a statement. “After the press conference by the head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Judge Haider Hanoun, where he discussed corruption files,”

Al-Hilali urged Representative Speaker Mohsen al-Mandalawi to “assemble a crisis meeting tomorrow, Thursday, and bring Judge Haider Hanoun to reveal insight into what’s going on in the background,” adding that “gigantic tension may be applied on the Trustworthiness Commission to close the case including Noor Zuhair and the purported ‘burglary of the hundred years.”

“Judge Haider Hanoun should go to the meeting and unveil the in the background improvements considering responsible that great number of associated with taking the cash of the Iraqi nation, independent of their situation in the public authority and state.”

Prior on Wednesday, Hanoun expressed great discontent during a public interview in Erbil, pointing toward exposing the intricacies of the “robbery of the 100 years,” which has rocked Iraq’s political and public scene.

The Honesty Commission’s top official expressed “outrageous annoyance” over what he said as the Commission’s position was being undermined and case records on the blamed, Noor Zuhair, were disappearing from Judge Diaa Jafar’s hands. These developments, he noted, represent a major test to advance hostile to defilement efforts and the rehabilitation of state reserves.

Hanoun claimed that the matter involving Noor Zuhair, mentioned to the Focal Lawbreaker Court, consists on 114 monetary checks. “Hanoun pointed out that although the law mandates opening of 114 separate cases, they have been aggregated into one case.”

“I want the parliament to ask me why only one case was opened, despite Noor Zuhair being implicated in other crimes, including usurping 420 dunums of land in Basrah, which was registered under fake names,” Hanoun said, “this case was transferred to Baghdad based on the decision of Judge Diaa Jafar Lefteh.”
