Iraqi Chief Justice Denies Legal Basis for Corruption Settlements
The media focused on Iraqi Chief Justice Faiq Zaidan’s confirmation that there is no legal basis for settlement agreements with defendants accused of corruption cases. He clarified that the judiciary handles corruption cases in accordance with the law and does not rely on settlements with corrupt individuals. Zaidan emphasized that the judiciary proceeds with applying the law independently and that freedom is a constitutional right, making a distinction between exercising the right to express oneself and instances of insults and violations. He also pointed out that the primary role of the judiciary is to enforce existing laws, not to create new laws, as the legislative process is solely the responsibility of the Parliament.
