Iraqis were shocked by billions of dollars and currencies stolen and embezzled from public and private funds in the palaces of corrupt politicians who had been raising anti-corruption slogans.
The Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Forces, supported by America, launched a wave of arrests that targeted Iraqi politicians, former and current MPs, and former government officials holding positions in the current state.
The number of suspects for whom the Iraqi judiciary has issued arrest warrants reached 200 at the time of writing these lines, and it is expected that new arrest warrants will be issued in the coming days—apart from corruption cases in previous years.
And the question posed by Iraqis on social media is:
Will arrest warrants reach the big “fish” among corrupt politicians since 2003, or is the Iraqi judiciary unable to touch them for fear of their retaliation?
