The Federal Commission of Integrity announced the dismantling of a major corruption network involved in bribery, embezzlement, and the squandering of public funds within the Diwaniyah Municipality. The operation resulted in the issuance of 30 arrest and search warrants targeting
current and former officials, including five former municipality directors and key personnel in the accounting and audit departments. Investigations revealed the inflation of purchase prices and the submission of fraudulent project reports. Authorities seized expenditure vouchers exceeding 9 billion dinars,
counterfeit stamps, cash, and luxury vehicles. The suspects have been referred to the competent judicial authorities, who ordered their detention and issued travel bans for several associated individuals.
