Iraq sentences Oil Deputy Minister to 7 years
The Iraqi Integrity Commission has issued a seven-year prison sentence for former MP Talal Zubai and the Deputy Minister of Oil for Distribution Affairs, Ali Mearaj Al-Bahadli, on charges of embezzlement and illegal enrichment. The amount of illicit gain and inflation in Zubai’s funds was approximately 35 billion dinars, with an order to repay 70 billion dinars. Meanwhile, Al-Bahadli’s assets amounted to around 26.5 billion dinars, with a repayment order of 53 billion dinars. This ruling is part of ongoing efforts to combat corruption in Iraq and aims to recover stolen funds and address illegal pursuit of wealth in the oil sector.
