The Iraqi Integrity Commission reported the issuance of an arrest warrant against the former governor of Salah al-Din, Ammar Jabir al-Jubouri, for deliberately violating his official duties with the intent to harm the state's interests. The Commission's investigation department indicated that the specialized investigation court for integrity issues in Salah al-Din issued the arrest warrant due to charges of contracting and disbursing an amount of 3,839,745,000 Iraqi dinars for the provision of environmental sterilization systems using smoke, along with vehicles designated for their operation to combat disease vectors.
The department added that a significant portion of these systems has been left in storage and has not been supplied to health institutions, as the governor distributed the vehicles intended for their operation to hospital directors for personal use. It noted that the purpose of installing the systems and sterilization devices on those vehicles was for their designated uses.
The department explained that the investigative team from the Salah al-Din office, which handled the investigation and referred the case to the judiciary, uncovered other violations related to the contracting process by the former governor, including the fact that the contract was not carried out through the General Company for Marketing Drugs and Medical Supplies (Kimadia), which is exclusively responsible for importing such systems, and that there was no justification for entering into the contract.
The department pointed out that the specialized investigation court for integrity issues in Salah al-Din issued the arrest warrant based on the provisions of Article 331 of the Iraqi Penal Code No. 111 of 1969.
