The facts
The Federal Commission of Integrity said al-Samarrai was ordered to repay 30 billion Iraqi dinars linked to contracts at the North Refineries and South Refineries companies. [2]
Al-Janabi was ordered to repay 4 billion dinars arising from North Refineries Company contracts, according to the commission’s account reported by 964media. [2]
A related verdict gave oil-distribution official Hussein Talib eight years in prison and ordered repayment of 55 billion dinars. The checked accounts disagree on the exact day of his earlier sentencing. [2]
AP reported that the two politicians’ parties did not immediately comment on the sentences. [1]
Still unconfirmed
- The checked accounts do not establish whether these verdicts can be appealed or their present appeal status.
- The original judgments were not available in the checked material. AP dates Talib’s sentence to 28 October; 964media’s chronology implies 27 October. The related sentence is reported without choosing between those dates.
