A politician reveals that the arrest of Al-Sudani and Al-Halbousi has been postponed until the next round of arrests.
The director of the Iraqi Media Center in Washington, Nizar Haider, revealed on Monday that the arrest warrants for the head of the Progress Alliance, Mohammed al-Halbousi, and former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani remain in effect and will be executed within the next few days on charges related to corruption and money laundering.
Haider told Al-Maalomah News Agency that “the Integrity Commission will execute arrest warrants within the next few days against former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and the head of the Progress Alliance, Mohammed al-Halbousi, for their involvement in stealing huge sums of money and transferring them to foreign banks, in addition to possessing a fortune equivalent to the budgets of some countries.”
He added that “the US Federal Reserve has placed al-Sudani and al-Halbousi at the top of its list of most wanted individuals for their involvement in corruption cases during their tenure in leadership positions in the central government,” clarifying that “the arrest of al-Sudani and al-Halbousi has been postponed until the coming days, and what has been rumored about political settlements to cancel the arrest warrants is baseless.”
He added that “Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s office, in coordination with the Counter-Terrorism Service, will pursue those involved in stealing huge sums of money from the country’s treasury in hard currency and imprison them to recover the stolen funds.”
