The Iraqi authorities have reportedly took several measures to officials in the Defense and Interior ministries for suspicions of corruption.

According to Al-Hurra Iraq, at least 48 members of the Iraqi Defense Ministry were issued arrest warrants over their suspected financial and administrative corruption.

Furthermore, the Iraqi authorities had also issued a similar amount of arrest warrants to the Interior Ministry over similar charges.

The Iraqi government has recently launched a nationwide campaign to get the country rid of corruption; it has started internally in Baghdad and will go on for the next few weeks.
