Baghdad (AIN) –The head of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Baha al-Araji, described the arrest warrant against the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Sinan al-Shibibi, as "Immature", expecting that it was issued for "political purposes similar to the case with the former independent committees."
Speaking to All Iraq News Agency (AIN) on Tuesday, he said "The arrest warrant against Shibibi is real and exists, but we think that the procedures against the CBI are immature because Iraq witnesses a hard situation."
"The CBI is not less important than the Interior and Defense Ministries where it might affect the security situation in Iraq and result in the reduction of the Iraqi currency towards the foreign currencies," he added.
"The arrest warrant against Shibibi was a judicial one because it was issued by a specialist side," he added, wondering about "The late response towards the corruption issues referred to the Integrity Committee while this issue was settled within three days."
"The former investigations of the Integrity Committee over the corruption issues in the CBI revealed that there is a corruption in the CBI, but it is related to the officials in the CBI and not Shibibi himself," he pointed out, assuring that "The issue of the CBI is of political purposes as it was done with the other independent committees."
Earlier, the Council of Ministers tasked the head of the Financial Supervision Department, Abdul Basit Turki, to run the Iraqi Central Bank as a substitute for the current Governor of the CBI, Sinan al-Shibibi.
