The Karkh Investigation Court, which is specialized in integrity issues, has reportedly issued an order to seize the movable and immovable assets of former Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar.
According to the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA), citing a court source, the case relates to the alleged exploitation of his position and the alleged receipt of bribes from a number of investors linked to contracts with the Ministry of Oil.
A recent report from The Economist says that the former Minister strongly denies any wrongdoing.
