Iraqi Judiciary Issues Civil Ruling Imposing Financial Compensation on Member of Parliament

Al-Karkh Court issued a civil ruling obligating MP Alia Nassif Jassim to pay financial compensation to a legal advisor in the Ministry of Interior. The decision was based on proven civil liability for damages to his reputation and professional standing caused by statements made against him in the media, following his lawful execution of an arrest warrant against one of her relatives caught in the act. The court clarified that this ruling follows a previous penal judgment that granted the plaintiff the right to seek compensation. It emphasized the judiciary's role in providing legal protection to public servants and ensuring accountability when executing judicial decisions.
