An Iraqi court has issued prison sentences against two political figures and a former senior oil official following convictions in corruption cases involving the manipulation of government contracts. The rulings include six years in prison for Azm Alliance leader Muthanna al-Samarrai, five years for lawmaker Ziad al-Janabi, and eight years for former Oil Products Distribution Company director-general Hussein Talib. The convicted individuals were also ordered to return substantial sums of money to the state treasury.
