The British government announced in a statement today, Thursday, imposing sanctions on five people in four countries, including Iraq. She said one of the people is a former governor of Nineveh.
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in the statement that the sanctions relate to corruption charges in four countries: Equatorial Guinea, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Iraq.
He also clarified that the Iraqi on whom the sanctions were imposed is Nofal Hammadi Al-Sultan, the former governor of Nineveh.
In October of last year, the Federal Integrity Commission in Iraq announced the implementation of an arrest warrant against Nofal Hammadi Al-Akoub, the former governor of Nineveh, indicating that the implementation of the order came after obtaining the approval of the competent court to look into integrity issues in the governorate.

The Commission's Investigation Department indicated that its staff in Nineveh Governorate were able to implement the arrest warrant issued against the former governor, which was issued based on the provisions of Resolution 160 of 1983 of the Judicial Investigation Commission formed under Order 126 of 2020 regarding major corruption cases.
The authority had announced that it had set up a high-level investigative team to reveal the fate of the funds that were withdrawn prior to the dismissal of the former Nineveh governor.
It also previously announced the seizure of a number of officials and employees of the governorate's office on charges of embezzlement and squandering state funds, noting that the amounts seized, the priorities of which exceed 76 billion Iraqi dinars.
