[size=52]Spy network in Sudani office embarrasses government[/size]
- Today 09:30
Information/Baghdad...
The case of espionage and blackmail, which was revealed in the Prime Minister's office, caused great embarrassment to Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, as it confirms the existence of a major breach emanating from al-Sudani's office.
Iraqi authorities announced last week that they had uncovered a wiretapping and extortion network operating inside the government palace where al-Sudani conducts his daily work. Its activities targeted senior political leaders, members of parliament, senior officials, judges and businessmen, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Seven suspects have been arrested so far, most notably the Assistant Director of Administration in Al-Sudani's office (Mohammed Juhi).
The revelation of the wiretapping network inside Al-Sudani is the biggest scandal to hit the latter since he took office, and in a move that many considered to be the end of his future political ambitions.
It seems that the judiciary and the government are not the only ones investigating the issue, as Parliament is also investigating this network.
MP Hadi Al-Salami said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, "Spying on members of the House of Representatives is a very serious issue and the Iraqi judiciary is conducting intensive investigations in various directions according to the information and arrest warrants have been issued against some and we are following the course of the investigations in order to determine the circumstances of what happened."
He added, "An official request was submitted to the Presidency of the House of Representatives in order to proceed with a parliamentary investigation to uncover the mysteries of the espionage case, who are the parties involved, and whether there is an external dimension to the case or not."
He pointed out that "the espionage file carries within it three security risks: exceeding powers and laws, the danger of leaks and blackmail operations, in addition to the fact that it is illegal, pointing to the importance of the results of the investigations in providing a clear picture of what happened."
For his part, the judge and former minister, Wael Abdel Latif, considered the practices of Mohamed Juhi and his spy team a clear violation of the position of the administrative ruling decision.
Abdul Latif said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "The transfer of these practices to high levels within state institutions constitutes a serious breach of the administrative system and threatens the safety of these institutions, especially if they are sovereign and at the top of the pyramid of power."
He added, "We are awaiting judicial investigations into the suspicions of Mohammed Juhi and other figures regarding the circulation of files and communications, as the penalty for these actions according to the law may reach the death penalty," indicating that "these practices are considered a clear violation of the position of the administrative ruling decision."
Two weeks ago, independent MP Mustafa Sand revealed that the Karkh Investigation Court, which specializes in terrorism cases, had arrested a network from the government palace of the Prime Minister’s Office, headed by the close associate (Mohammed Juhi) and a number of officers and employees.
He added, "The network was carrying out several dirty acts, including eavesdropping on the phones of a number of MPs and politicians. The network also directed electronic armies, created fake news, and impersonated politicians, businessmen, and channel owners. The network confessed to its actions, and their statements were recorded initially and judicially. He revealed that among the many confessions was impersonating the number of Saad Al-Bazzaz (owner of Al-Sharqiya satellite channel) and sending a fabricated image to Al-Sharqiya channel containing the image of four MPs (Sand, Adi, Mohammed Nouri, and Haitham Al-Zahwan) for false news and sending the image to the phone numbers of all the MPs privately.
