Head of Iraq’s Red Crescent Society, two aides sought in corruption probe
The Iraqi Red Crescent Society says its chief and two deputies have been summoned by an investigative court in a probe of alleged corruption. Adnan al-Kadhimi is one of the deputies sought for questioning. He says that Red Crescent chief Saeed Haqi is out of the country on official business and is heading for the United States. The third official summoned by the court left Iraq last year amid a separate corruption investigation. The details of the probe into the Red Crescent were not immediately known, but al-Kadhimi says the agency is preparing a legal defense.
