Today, Sunday, November 15, 2026, Iraq’s Federal Integrity Commission said in a statement that the Central Anti-Corruption Court had sentenced (Khalid Ghazi Atiyah Mutlaq al-Maazidi), the deputy electricity minister for transmission and distribution affairs, to seven years in prison under Article (19/Second) of the amended Integrity Commission and Unlawful Gains Law No. (30 of 2011).
The statement said the court had ordered the convict to repay the illicit gains, amounting to (8 billion, 242 million and 678 thousand) Iraqi dinars and (6 million, 686 thousand and 292) US dollars. It also imposed a financial fine equivalent to the value of the illicit gains under Article (19/Fourth) of the commission’s law, bringing the total amount imposed to (36 billion and 810 million) dinars.
The Integrity Commission also said the court had imposed an additional three-year prison sentence on the convict for concealing the crime and ordered the harsher sentence to be enforced. The court further approved the seizure of all his movable and immovable property, authorizing the commission, once the ruling becomes final, to seek compensation for the damages.
