[size=52]The Federal Court gives the green light to prosecute more than 20 deputies accused of corruption[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad / Muhammad Sabah[/size]
[size=45]The Federal Court’s recent decision to revoke the immunity of members of the House of Representatives granted the judiciary permission to prosecute more than twenty deputies accused of financial and administrative corruption, without referring to Parliament. She described this step as "part" of the reform process, after the government, through the Anti-Corruption Commission, managed to arrest a number of people accused of corruption.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday morning, the Federal Court issued a clarification regarding the immunity of members of Parliament, and confirmed that they have no immunity except when an arrest warrant is issued for an unmarked felony.[/size]
[size=45]In a press release received by (Al-Mada), she stated that “the court decided by its decision 90 / federal / 2019 on 4/28/2021 to revoke previous court decisions regarding obtaining the approval of the House of Representatives in all crimes against which members of Parliament are accused, whether they are felonies or misdemeanors. Or wrongdoing ”.[/size]
[size=45]She added, "We decided to limit obtaining the approval of the House of Representatives in only one case, which is the issuance of an arrest warrant for a crime of the type of unmarked felony, except for immunity for members of Parliament."[/size]
[size=45]And the Federal Court continued: "It is possible to take legal measures against them directly in the event that any of them are accused of a felony, misdemeanor or contravention."[/size]
[size=45]Bahar Mahmoud, a member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, said in a statement to (Al-Mada) that “the decisions of the Federal Court are categorical and binding on all authorities, and cannot be neglected,” calling for “the abolition of immunity for all three presidencies, similar to members of Parliament.”[/size]
[size=45]She believes that "the immunity that existed means inequality among the Iraqi people before the judiciary," noting that "immunity should not be aimed at protecting the corrupt and thieves, and it grants MPs or anyone the right to practice corruption."[/size]
[size=45]In the past, hundreds of arrest warrants were issued against a large number of deputies. The Supreme Judicial Council demanded several times that the Presidency of the Council of Representatives lift the immunity of MPs accused of stealing public funds.[/size]
[size=45]A member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee adds that "there are a large number of members of Parliament who have submitted requests to lift immunity, but they resorted to candidacy for elections in order to obtain immunity and to evade legal accountability and protection in an unreasonable manner."[/size]
[size=45]Article 63 / Second of the Federal Constitution regulates the granting of legal immunity and lifting it from the representative. Paragraph (b) prohibits the arrest of a member during the period of the legislative term, unless he is accused of a felony and with the approval of the members by the majority. Immunity with the approval of the Speaker of Parliament. Mahmoud stresses that “the number of MPs who will be prosecuted after the decision to revoke immunity is large and that the court’s decision entered into force after its announcement,” adding that “the aim of issuing such a decision came because of the increasing number of deputies accused of corruption cases. The accused from participating ”.[/size]
[size=45]For his part, Tariq Harb, the legal expert, explained in a statement to (Al-Mada) that “Article 63 of the constitution talks about arrest, and therefore immunity is limited to arrest for a felony in witness (the offense punishable by more than five years),” stressing that "This immunity contained in the constitution is restricted and not absolute."[/size]
[size=45]Members of the Iraqi parliament enjoyed absolute immunity from all crimes and charges against them, and no judicial or security body has the right to arrest or hold them accountable except after the parliament votes to lift their immunity.[/size]
[size=45]He added that the Federal Court’s decision “revoked immunity and previous cases that were considered immunity and said it was wrong and incorrect,” adding that “most cases of financial corruption are in accordance with Articles (331) and (341) of the Penal Code. Any deputy accused of these two articles.[/size]
[size=45]The specialist in legal affairs adds that “many cases will lead to the issuance of arrest against deputies (…). Twenty deputies may be arrested based on requests to lift the immunity that the Supreme Judicial Council sent to Parliament,” indicating that “their cases are varied and different from person to person. else".[/size]
[size=45]The Supreme Judicial Council had requested in a previous statement issued by its media office to lift the immunity of (21) deputies accused of administrative corruption during their tenure in executive positions.[/size]
[size=45]Harb adds that "the immunity has ended for those MPs who were previously asked to lift their immunity, and therefore legal measures are supposed to be taken against them."[/size]
