The Iraqi authorities confirmed that the investigative committee charged with investigating suspicions of smuggling oil derivatives in the Jurf al-Nasr (Jurf al-Sakhar) area is completely devoid of any representation of political parties or factions, indicating that the field teams began their tasks on the ground since the early hours of the morning.
In this context, the head of the Security Media Commission, Saad Maan, told the Iraqi News Agency “INA”, today, Friday, that the committee began its field procedures immediately after its members arrived this morning in the Jurf al-Nasr area, to verify the accuracy of information related to the smuggling operations of petroleum derivatives.
This move came in implementation of the directives of the Prime Minister, Ali Al-Zaidi, who ordered the formation of an investigative committee headed by Lieutenant General Saad Mohsen Uraibi, to determine the data related to this file.
The committee’s membership includes: the Commander of the Federal Police Forces, the Director of the Energy Police, the Director of the General Directorate of Security and Discipline, as well as representatives of the Federal Integrity Commission and the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency.
The committee continues its field work to verify the information circulating, at a time when the authorities have not yet issued any final results regarding the ongoing investigations.
