Shafaq News / A judicial source revealed that an arrest warrant had been issued against the former Governor of Dhi Qar, Nadhim Al-Waeli, on corruption and bribery charges.

The source told Shafaq News agency, "the recruitment order was issued under the provisions of Resolution 106 of 1983 / Second / First."

The former head of the caretaker government, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, had appointed Al-Waeli in May 2020, to succeed the resigned Adel Al-Dakhili.

However, the demonstrators in Dhi Qar Governorate declared their refusal for al-Waeli to assume the position of Governor, renewing their demand to dismiss Al-Waeli.
