SULAIMANI — Manger of Garmian Municipalities Barzan Karem was arrested on corruption charges on Monday (June 28) following a court hearing.
Member of Sulaimani Provincial Council Karim Ali told NRT that Karem had appeared in front of a judge from Garmian’s Integrity Investigation Court. At the conclusion of the hearing, the judge ordered him to be detained.
On May 24, a judge who is no longer serving on the same court issued an arrest warrant for Karem, but he never turned himself into the authorities.
The charges relate to the planned construction of an industrial area in the Garmian administration, but it was never built. Instead, Karem distributed the land to others without going through official procedures.
