LANDINA: Nasrawi rebelled against his leaders and lifted the political cover

LONDON (Reuters) - Basra's outgoing governor, Majid al-Nasraoui, has rebelled against his political leadership in the recent period before announcing his resignation, the newspaper Al-Arab reported, noting that he had not met financial commitments promised by his party. The newspaper said.
The newspaper said that "once the lifting of the political cover for the governor of Basra resigned by former Supreme Council President Ammar al-Hakim revealed a lot of administrative and financial irregularities in this oil-rich province, which is the only view of Iraq on the sea."
"Nasraoui rebelled against his political leadership and did not meet the financial commitments he promised before he fled to Iran, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia last weekend, hours after he announced his resignation from office," the newspaper quoted political sources as saying.
He attributed the Iraqi political source, according to the newspaper escape Nasrawi to "conflict of interest between corrupt political symbols and not fear of justice."
And does not rule out political sources, to be the leadership of the stream of wisdom headed by Ammar al-Hakim, leaked documents condemning Nasrawi to get rid of him, after the acquisition of large amounts without providing the agreed percentage. The newspaper said.
The resignation of the governor, after a wide controversy, about his role and his son Mohammed, in suspicious transactions, caused the loss of millions of dollars. The role of Nasrawi's son was revealed in the suspicious contracts, only after the formation of the stream of wisdom headed by Ammar al-Hakim.
The issue of cleaning up the province exploded this month, as it revealed the payment of Basra about $ 5 million a month to a Kuwaiti cleaning company.
A day before his resignation, a special security force raided the governor's home in search of his son Mohammed, whose official documents revealed he was involved in corrupt deals that resulted in large commissions, taking advantage of his father's job.
"Mohammed, Nassrawi's son, was the only intermediary between his father, traders and contractors executing contracts they received from the government," the paper said.
The sources said that "the son of Nasrawi involved in the acquisition of millions of dollars for his father in the cases of electricity and cleaning company."
Nassrawi justified his escape by exposing officials arrested to investigate corruption files belonging to the governor to torture.
The sources added that "the governor used the passport of Australia, to leave Iraq in violation of the decision of the Integrity Commission to prevent him from traveling. But the news conflicting on his destination between Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. "
She confirmed that Nasraoui had obtained from the Iraqi Interior Ministry a "non-judgmental" document, absolving him of any misdemeanor or felony. But the governor was quick to issue this document after he found the existence of an integrated file will lead to his conviction quickly. The Governor may use this document to pay his innocence if he is held accountable in any State other than Iraq.
