Shafaq News- Babil
The Federal Integrity Commission
arrested an engineer working for the Middle Euphrates Electricity Distribution
Company in Babil’s Shubbar neighborhood, a security source told
Shafaq News on Friday.
The source added that the
commission’s Babil investigations office supported the operation.
No details were provided on the
reason for the detention.
On June 28, Iraqi authorities
launched a nationwide anti-corruption campaign, dubbed “Dawn Crackdown,” under Prime
Minister Ali Al-Zaidi’s direction. Informed sources told Shafaq News that the
first phase is expected to target more than 200 current and former officials,
politicians, business owners, and other suspects, while government
sources said the second phase will focus on suspected
corruption cases involving officials accused of owning luxury real estate
projects in the United States, Europe, and Turkiye.
