Two Iraqi lawmakers have been arrested for corruption, the country’s integrity commission said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the commission said Sadiq Madloul al-Sultan and Ahmed al-Jabouri, the former governors of the Babel and Saladin provinces, were arrested upon orders from the Central Anti-Corruption Court.
