A high-level delegation from the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has concluded a visit to Baghdad, the first of its kind in years, stressed the need to hand over Iraq to those who wanted it to their countries, and expressed concern that the housing of Iraq wanted for sectarian motives.

According to a report published by the "New Arab", the delegation headed by Secretary General of the "Interpol" Jürgen Stoke, met during a visit to Baghdad, with the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi, and officials of the Ministry of the Interior and the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council.

Abadi said after meeting with the delegation of INTERPOL that "discussions will be held on the exchange of experience, building the capabilities of the Iraqi side with cyber crimes, social networking, money laundering and terrorism, and the recovery of smuggled money and fugitive criminals."

Stoke said that "Iraq has become an active and integrated member, in building and activating the system of notification and pre-warning and build a global biometric system, and the use of industrial intelligence applications and databases to detect the crimes of fraud and smuggling," stressing stand by Iraq to maintain security.

Government leaks about Interpol's demand for Iraq to "fairly" deal with the wanted return files, as Iraq waives extradition of wanted individuals to their countries, while Interpol and other countries are demanding extradition.

Iraqi officials said that "the visit of INTERPOL's delegation was to put points on the letters and to reorganize the troubled relationship between the organization and Baghdad, which worsened a lot during the era of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, because of the politicized judicial decisions and the adoption of confessions extracted under torture by Iraqi judges "He said.

INTERPOL did not recognize many of the judicial warrants issued by the Iraqi judiciary between 2007 and 2013 against Iraqi figures outside the country, and Baghdad then asked the organization to help bring them.

An Iraqi government official said that "INTERPOL's delegation focused on a number of files, including the issue of those wanted by Iraq who wanted the organization to cooperate on their arrest, as well as those wanted by other nationalities present in Iraq. The government provides protection and sanctuary. Issued by them under judicial warrants in their countries or other countries, mostly of Arab nationalities. "

"The organization considered it unreasonable to ask Iraq to cooperate with and bring wanted persons in other countries. At the same time, its authorities refuse to extradite wanted persons to other countries that provide them with safe haven," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

According to the Iraqi official, Bahrain, Turkey, Pakistan, Kuwait and Afghanistan are wanted by Iraqis who reside in Iraq, including those who have been convicted of terrorism. Baghdad does not cooperate in their extradition to the organization. There are also other nationalities wanted by Iraqi parties and religious figures.

The Iraqi official confirmed that "it was agreed with the INTERPOL delegation, on a number of issues concerning the wanted persons who demanded Iraq to extradite them and those wanted inside Iraq, and the issue of judgments issued by the government of Nuri al-Maliki, considered by the organization political, against Iraqis who are now abroad or not have the minimum Of transparency ".

"Concerns expressed by the INTERPOL delegation that Iraq has become a haven for those wanted by sectarian motives, such as those wanted by Bahrainis, Kuwaitis, Jordanians, Turks and Afghans in Iraq, and refuses to extradite them to their countries," the official said.
