The judiciary releases Al-Maliki on bail after his appearance in the case of audio leaks

ronscarpa · September 6, 2022

Thanks for the good article Yota...

Al-Maliki touched on topics related to Sunni Arabs that were considered sectarian, in addition to describing the "popular mobilization" as "a nation of cowards", while talking about arming clans and groups estimated at 20,000 fighters on the ground, asking him for support. Financially, logistically and legally, and he promised to provide this, in order to protect him from the leader of the Sadrist movement....then he claims al-Sadr wants to "slaughter everyone"...

Maliki is seeking to marginalize the Sunnis and sow discord between the factions. Then he wants to arm clans to back him up to protect him from further prosecution (Sadr asking him to turn himself in for his criminal behavior); then he accuses Sadr of wanting to slaughter Iraqis....what a turd Maliki is...! I hope they nail his butt.

In his speech, according to the recordings published by journalist blogger Ali Fadel, Al-Maliki touched on topics related to Sunni Arabs that were considered sectarian, in addition to describing the "popular mobilization" as "a nation of cowards", while talking about arming clans and groups estimated at 20,000 fighters on the ground, asking him for support.

The former prime minister also spoke about "financial and administrative corruption" in the PMF, and about the fact that the "Badr" organization, led by Hadi al-Amiri, receives financial salaries for about 40,000 people, while it does not have that number on the ground.

After these recordings, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, asked al-Maliki to surrender himself and those who sought refuge from the corrupt to the judicial authorities.

The "Technology for Peace" team, the most famous Iraqi technical team, had confirmed the authenticity of the recordings attributed to al-Maliki, and said that they were "not fabricated", noting in a report published earlier, that "despite the repeated denials of the owners of those recordings, and his claim I fabricated it by quoting and fitting excerpts from his voice to appear in this way, but the observations we made about the audio clip prove otherwise.

We will see how much sway Sadr has now in the government, I pray a LOT!

DoD · September 8, 2022

Al Sadr has the same problem that Trump has, he’s not a politician. On one hand you have a preacher and the other a real estate business man. Both are good men and mean well but just don’t know how to get in the dirt.
Al Sadr has messed around and let Maliki and Iran push him around for the past 10 months. I won’t even go there with Trump.
Al Sadr needs some advice from some real cut throat and shifty smart lawyers. He should have had Maliki tied up in the courts months ago….

Sadr is a most clever Lad isn't he...I'm sure he's surrounded by like minded folks in his inner circle providing timely & critical info so he doesn't make mistakes.

So far as events are being played out he's been very adept in this chess game.

DoD · September 8, 2022

I’m not sure if I agree with some of Al-Sadr chess moves.
)The first would be the reasoning behind making his parliament members resign.

) The second would be the reasoning behind sending your followers into the streets to be killed by the Iranian militia.
) The third would be his reasoning behind pressuring the Federal Court to resolve the parliament which they can’t do.

The list continues but I’m sure he has an endgame to his madness.

Nouri Al Maliki faces lawsuit from rival as row widens over inflammatory leaked audio

Sadrist leader Nassar Al Rubaie is pushing for an arrest warrant and travel ban against Iraq's former prime minister

One of Iraq’s most powerful political parties filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against former prime minister Nouri Al Maliki, further deepening the country’s deadly political impasse.

Politicians aligned with powerful Shiite cleric Moqtada Al Sadr and pushed the legal action against his rival Mr Al Maliki. It is a response to leaked audio tapes — the authenticity of which is contested — that allegedly show the former premier insulting a number of officials, including Mr Al Sadr.

The suit by Nassar Al Rubaie, the head of the Sadrist bloc, requested authorities to issue an arrest warrant against Mr Al Maliki and a travel ban.

In a letter addressed to the country's top court, which circulated on social media, Mr Al Rubaie accused him of threatening peace and security in the country.

Moqtada Al Sadr demands his supporters withdraw after night of violence in Iraq

Mr Al Maliki is also accused of seeking to cause sedition and sectarian fighting in the country.

"He also said that he will be the first one to target Moqtada Al Sadr and threaten to kill him," Mr Al Rubaie said in the letter.

The recording sparked controversy, especially regarding its authenticity.

It was leaked by US-based blogger and activist Ali Al Fadhil who began to release parts of the alleged audio recording between Mr Al Maliki and two militiamen.

Mr Al Maliki has said the audio is fake.

The former prime minister allegedly said in the audio that Mr Al Sadr is backed by foreign powers, whom he accuses of carrying out kidnappings and murder campaigns across Iraq during years of sectarian violence after the 2003 US-led invasion.

Mr Al Maliki described the Popular Mobilisation Forces, which is an umbrella group of mostly Iran-backed armed militia, as "the nationwide cowards".

He is linked to the group and maintains close relations with its top officials.

Relations between Mr Al Sadr and Mr Al Maliki have been sour over the years.

In the alleged audio Mr Al Maliki said the Sunnis, in which he is referring to the Baathists, were working as part of a British conspiracy to overthrow the country's Shiites.

It was under Mr Al Maliki's watch that ISIS took over large areas of Iraq in 2014.

He led the country until then before being removed from his position.

Another answer is for someone in the Sadr movement help Maliki meet his 17 virgins soon (not Iraqi soon😁) .🙄

The impact of al-Maliki's leaks and the pillars of corruption in the Iraqi scene!

Iraqi and Arab public opinion has been preoccupied with hearing the leaks attributed to the criminal of the Maliki era and the corrupt class, which the activist Mr. Ali Fadel published through his website and his Twitter account, hoping that it would accelerate the collapse of the political process in Iraq, and may have caused a turmoil and uproar in the street.

But will these leaks make a big deal, or will they stir up the Iraqi street, create splits in the political process, bring them to justice, and establish open courts?

In fact, we do not deny that the initial clips caused a shock in the popular and even official circles, and were preoccupied with satellite channels, newsrooms, newspapers and social media.

But it will not bring about any immediate change that the Iraqi people expect for the following reasons:

1- The system of government was basically built on perpetuating sectarianism, racism and quotas, and it is natural for these groups to feed on them for the perpetuation of their rule, and they have no shame in speaking about them secretly or publicly.

2- The conflict and competition between all the pillars of the government and the blocs and parties of all their sects and nationalities in Iraq is a struggle of interests and striving to remain in power as long as possible, and it is not an honorable competition based on solid principles in order to build the pillars of the state on solid foundations and build a civilized society and work on its well-being .

3- Such leaks may cause an earthquake in the pillars of any regime. If that ruling was patriotic, and one of the threads and episodes of treason and conspiracy against it were discovered, then the pillars of the state would be shaken and the entire political process might collapse!

4- As it is known to all, the Iranian regime is absolutely in control of the Iraqi file, and certainly it is following with great caution the course of things, and Iran will do everything in its power to heal this rift. Because everyone is her servants and her slaves, except for those on whom my Lord has mercy, and none of them assumed his seat and position except by her recommendation, so she will try to close this file and conflict and will force them to sit down and compromise among themselves by intimidation or carrots and sticks and carrots.

5- Iraq is the center of gravity for the Iranian project, and it is the strongest player in it. Like it or not, we will not expect it to retreat and it has alternative plans. The political process in Iraq will not collapse in the absence of al-Maliki, al-Sadr, or all the leaders of the framework or the movement, but even all faces of all sects, blocs and parties; Simply because the current type of government is horizontal and not vertical, hierarchical, as it was in Iraq before the occupation.

6- Indeed, I do not want to discourage those who aspire to bring about change in Iraq, but it is a view based on constants and rules that have not changed since the occupation.

After Al-Maliki appeared before the judiciary, his office: The law is above all

2022.10.11 - 12:59

Baghdad - people

Hisham al-Rikabi, director of the office of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, commented on Tuesday, after the latter appeared before the judiciary on the issue of audio leaks.

Al-Rikabi said in a tweet on "Twitter" followed by "Nas" (October 11, 2022), that "the law is above all."

Earlier, Judge Jaafar al-Moussawi announced the release of the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, on bail, after appearing before the judiciary, regarding the incident of audio leaks.

Al-Moussawi said in a statement received by "Nass" a copy (October 11, 2022), that "after the decision of the Third Karkh Investigation Court to bring in al-Maliki regarding the leaks, the latter appeared this morning before the aforementioned court."

He explained that "Al-Maliki's statements were initially and judicially written, and the judge decided to release him on bail."

The Karkh Investigation Court confirmed, earlier, that a complaint had been filed against the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, against the background of the audio leaks, while indicating that it had approached the Ministry of Interior to provide it with the circulating recordings.

The first judge of the Karkh Investigation Court said to the official agency and followed by “Nas” (July 25, 2022): that “a complaint was filed against the leader of the State of Law coalition, Nuri Kamel al-Maliki, regarding the audio leaks,” noting that “several complaints were submitted by a number of citizens about it.

He added that "the court wrote down the complainants' statements and decided to approach the Ministry of Interior / Directorate of Technology and Informatics / Department of Electronic Crime in order to provide us with the published recordings from the website that leaked the recordings, but the answer was not received, and the procedures are still continuing."

He pointed out that "the court decided to record the statements of the owner of the website that leaked the audio recording, and is waiting to know his exact address to inform him of this."

The Supreme Judicial Council announced, earlier, the opening of an investigation into the leaks attributed to the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki.

And the Media Center of the Supreme Judicial Council stated in a statement that “Nass” received a copy of it, (July 19, 2022), that “the Karkh Investigation Court received a request submitted to the Public Prosecution to take legal measures regarding the audio leaks attributed to Nuri al-Maliki, and a fundamental investigation is currently underway regarding it in accordance with the law.” .

The leader of the Dawa Party, Amer al-Kafishi, commented, earlier, on the audio leaks attributed to the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, stressing that al-Maliki is a son of clans and he is not in a position to speak about these particularities in front of others.

Al-Kafishi said in an interview with colleague "Batoul al-Hassan", followed by "Nas" (July 19, 2022), that "it is not for al-Maliki to speak about these matters and privacy in front of others or to offend personalities."

Al-Kafishi added, "In one of the sessions, I was present with Al-Maliki and one of the brothers criticized one of the personalities, and by God, I heard Al-Maliki said to him, 'Oh my brother, do not talk about this hadith. ".

Regarding the reality of the leaked recordings attributed to Al-Maliki, whether they were real or fabricated, Al-Kafishi said: “Al-Maliki is a son of clans and among the characteristics of the sons of the clans, they do not talk about others, because they have this shameful thing,” explaining, “I am sitting with clansmen who do not talk about others; Because this is an insult to his personality as a member of a clan."

Al-Kafishi continued, "Sometimes he puts forward a political opinion without insulting others, and this is a normal political opinion without insulting," wondering: "Who has fabricated and leaked these matters? A well-known man is an agent of the Americans," Al-Kafishi said.

The Islamic Dawa Party responded, earlier, to the recent statement of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, in which he addressed the issue of audio leaks attributed to the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki.

The party said in a statement received by "Nass" a copy of it (July 18, 2022): "We are the party of the martyrs, the fathers of the martyrs, the sons of the martyrs, and the followers of the happy martyr Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (may his honorable secret be sanctified) we have told our proud Iraqi Muslim people since we were in the opposition and in the fencing arenas with Al-Afalqa Al-Arajas."

He added, "The marshes of Iraq, its mountains, and its canopies witnessed us, and the blood of our righteous martyrs stained the cells of the End Palace, Abu Ghraib, its garrisons, and its single prisons. He worked throughout our movement and our advocacy and political action, and this is consistent and recorded in the literature of the blessed da’wah, as we have told our people in the areas of political confrontation since the political process began in Iraq after the fall of the idol.

He continued, "We were and still maintain the constants of religion and the homeland, and we worked politically comfortably with all partners, which lead us to serve our country and advance our Islamic project, whose foundations laid by our first martyr, al-Sadr (may God be pleased with him) and the righteous kinetic scholars, so we and our brothers in the political process preserved national unity and restored Iraq's sovereignty by expelling the occupier." And we are still maintaining the situation of the operation from collapsing in the face of the actions of the international and regional enemies and greedy people.

He pointed out that "with the indications of forming the government, we see that there are those who are fanning the fire of strife between us, the sons of Sadrists, whom we expressed when we entered Iraq with symbols and identity, and we worked politically with all our Islamic brothers and others.

The party said, "We have not entered into a partisan conflict with any party and have not been drawn into side conflicts that distance us from our Islamic and national goals. We see these days signs of sedition pouring oil on the fire by the stalkers and stalkers in our people's circles, and by the secret services at home and abroad who aspire to transform Iraq has become the epicenter of a conflict through electronic leakage and espionage, which has been subjected to counterfeiting and forgery, and this has been made clear to our people.”

He continued, "We will not be drawn into blind strife between the sons of the one nation, as well as the missionary line represented by the two martyrs al-Sadr (may their secret sanctify), and we call on our people and their political forces to beware of falling into a conflict that only serves the enemies of Islam and the homeland."

Earlier, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, sent a strongly worded message to the Dawa Party and the allied forces within the "coordinating framework" after the recent audio leaks attributed to the head of the State of Law coalition, Nuri al-Maliki, and while asking al-Maliki to surrender himself to the judicial authorities, he said: Al-Maliki's "destructive thoughts" could spread havoc and destruction upon Iraq and its people.

Al-Sadr stated in a blog post followed by "Nass" (July 18, 2022), "It is surprising that the threat comes from (the Dawa Party) affiliated with the al-Sadr family, their chief al-Maliki, and from a Shiite party claiming to demand the strength of the sect."

Al-Sadr added, "From here, I call for extinguishing the strife through a joint denunciation by the leaders of the forces allied with him on the one hand, and by the elders of his clan on the other."

Al-Sadr continued, "The denunciation is not limited to accusing me of collaborating with Israel or accusing me of killing Iraqis, even though I injected all the blood of Iraqis, including Al-Maliki, in a previous clash in which he was the one who ordered and prevented." It is his attack on the Iraqi security forces and accusing the popular crowd of cowardice and its incitement to sedition and Shiite-Shiite fighting, and it was said that in subsequent leaks it will transgress even the references, and God knows best.”

The leader of the Sadrist movement went on to say: "I absolve before God and the people of any aggression against him and of any use of violence against him. It is possible that a third party will intervene to fuel sedition, and I am innocent of it until the Day of Judgment."

Al-Sadr called on al-Maliki to "declare seclusion and retire from political work and resort to seeking forgiveness or surrendering himself and those who seek refuge from the corrupt to the judicial authorities, perhaps it would be a form of repentance for him before God and the Iraqi people."

Al-Sadr addressed al-Maliki by saying, "You have no right, after these destructive ideas, to lead Iraq in any way. Rather, that is ruin and destruction for Iraq and its people."
