mniraq - Former Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, Massoud Haider, called for referring the former Minister of Finance to trial before the Iraqi judiciary, criticizing the lack of accountability regarding financial policy management during previous periods. Haider accused the minister of burdening the country with debts exceeding 200 trillion Iraqi dinars and wasting over 140 billion US dollars, describing her administration as the least efficient in the history of the Iraqi state. These demands coincide with international reports indicating the cancellation of her diplomatic visa and the inclusion of her name on security-related watchlists, without any official clarification specifying the exact reasons for this measure.
