Shafaq News- Babil
The Leading Tribal Council in Babil province on Sunday backed Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi’s anti-corruption campaign, urging a tougher stance against corruption across state institutions.
In a statement, the council also praised Iraqi security forces for arresting several individuals accused of embezzlement and bribery involving large sums of public funds.
Earlier today, Iraqi security forces, under Al-Zaidi’s directive, carried out a wide-ranging anti-corruption operation, detaining 47 officials, politicians, businessmen, and members of parliament. Informed sources told Shafaq News that the drive is expected to continue, with a second phase likely to target additional senior figures.
