Is it true that the Sudanese man is being held under house arrest in the Green Zone?
MP Kamel Anid, from the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, confirmed today, Monday, his coalition’s absolute support for the legal and judicial measures taken against those wanted for justice, while warning at the same time of systematic campaigns led by corrupt individuals to confuse matters and mislead public opinion.
Anid told Al-Maalomah that “the Reconstruction and Development Coalition is based on a firm belief in the principle of the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary, stressing its full support for referring all corruption cases to the competent courts, and proceeding with them in accordance with constitutional and legal frameworks to consolidate the principle of accountability and responsibility, away from any political considerations or pressures.”
Anid added that “the last few days have witnessed an escalation in smear campaigns and the circulation of false information by parties involved in corruption, with the aim of achieving narrow political goals,” stressing “the need to rely on official narratives and accurate information issued by the competent authorities to block attempts to falsify the facts.”
In a related context, the MP from the Reconstruction and Development Coalition refuted “the information circulating regarding the detention of the head of the coalition, Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, and the imposition of house arrest on him inside the Green Zone, in the center of the capital, Baghdad, after the dawn raid on Sunday, indicating that there is no truth to this information.”
The government’s crackdown early Sunday morning resulted in the arrest of 47 individuals accused of corruption, including 12 members of parliament, as well as prominent government officials and politicians. The government affirmed its continued pursuit of corrupt individuals in Baghdad and the provinces.
