Iraqi security forces yesterday arrested the Governor of Babel, Hassan Mandil Al-Sariawi, on corruption charges,
Anadolu news agency reported.
The agency quoted an unnamed police officer as saying that a special security force from the capital, Baghdad, arrested Mandil after an arrest warrant was issued by the Iraqi judiciary against him for corruption.
The officer, who asked not to be named because he is not authorised to speak to the media, explained that the security forces took the governor to a security centre in Babil before he is due to appear before the judiciary.
