ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – An Iraqi official on Tuesday said arrest warrants for two more senior politicians will be issued “soon,” as part of the ongoing anti-corruption campaign launched by Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi.

A massive anti-corruption campaign was launched by Zaidi, where Iraqi special security forces entered Baghdad's Green Zone overnight on Sunday and imposed a lockdown, arresting dozens of high-level officials and lawmakers for their alleged involvement in corruption.

The Green Zone is home to the US embassy and other diplomatic missions, as well as the residences of many high-ranking politicians.

Hussein al-Shaihani, member of the Sadiqoun political bureau, the political wing of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, told The New Region that arrest warrants for two more senior officials will be issued “soon,” drawing comparison to the leader of the prominent Sunni Azm Alliance, Muthanna al-Samarrai, who was arrested on corruption charges on Sunday.

Azm holds 15 seats in the Iraqi parliament. State media identified four Azm lawmakers among those arrested: Mohammed al-Karbouli, Ziad al-Janabi, Hind al-Abbasi, and Mudhar al-Karawi.

“No official—whether a minister or holder of a senior position in past governments or the current government—will escape the law if involved in corruption, even if it takes a long time,” Shaihani said.

He also commended the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) for handing over suspects who have had prior court cases.

Under the premier's direction, the Iraqi finance ministry has created an account into which the funds recovered from corruption cases will be deposited, Iraqi government spokesperson Haider al-Aboudi said on Monday.

“There are no red lines for anyone who breaks the law or steals Iraqi money, and the government will work to recover funds looted during previous administrations,” Zaidi told heads of diplomatic missions of EU member states in Iraq on Monday, reaffirming Baghdad's efforts to combat corruption.
