Atheel al-Nujaifi

Arrest warrant issued for ex-Mosul governor over ties to Turkey

The Judiciary Council said on Oct. 20 that a complaint against al-Nujaifi was submitted by three lawmakers from Ninevah province in late 2015, shortly after the Turkish troops were deployed to a base in Bashiqa. It said the investigation concluded on Oct. 18, when two eyewitnesses from inside the camp testified at court.
