The Integrity Commission's Investigation Office in Kirkuk, northern Iraq, dismantled a network involving several police officers, Traffic Directorate employees, and office owners accused of exploiting their positions to process citizens' transactions outside legal procedures in exchange for bribes, a local source told Shafaq News on Tuesday.

The source said legal measures have been taken against those involved, while investigations continue to uncover further details.

Last week, the commission arrested a department head at the Water Resources Directorate in Kirkuk as he was receiving a sum of money, a source revealed.
