INA–Baghdad
The Reconstruction and Development Coalition announced its support on Sunday for the measures taken by the government and the Supreme Judicial Council in combating corruption.
In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the coalition said, "The Reconstruction and Development Coalition expresses its support for the measures taken by the government, the Supreme Judicial Council, and the relevant authorities against those for whom official arrest warrants have been issued, based on the coalition's firm belief in the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary."
The coalition emphasized its support for "referring files related to anti-corruption cases to the judiciary and proceeding with them according to constitutional and legal frameworks, thus reinforcing the principle of accountability, far removed from any political considerations," according to the statement.
"We warn against smear campaigns and the dissemination of false information by corrupt individuals who deliberately seek to muddy the waters for political purposes and stress the importance of relying on accurate information issued by the competent authorities to avoid misleading public opinion," the statement added.
