The Prime Minister’s media office issued a strongly worded statement, threatening “legal prosecution of those who spread lies.”

A statement received by {Euphrates News} said, "In continuation of the approach of clarity and transparency in government work, and the related media effort aimed at spreading facts and establishing realistic information before our honorable people, in all areas of public service, we confirm that legal prosecution is ongoing for every party or entity that promotes or fabricates lies and false news, which aims first to confuse and mislead public opinion, and cover up for the corrupt, in addition to targeting the government team and the clear digital successes it has provided in files that have represented a difficult knot for service and economic performance over the years."

He pointed out that spreading lies is the weapon of the bankrupt, and the trick of those who do not expect a sincere and appreciated position in the consciences of our people and sons of our nation. Whenever the government takes a clear step forward, such as the achievement that angered the corrupt and spiteful, represented by receiving the docks of the Grand Faw Port, the falsifiers rush to spread cheap lies, the origins of which are no longer difficult to trace, and to track who is behind them trying to compensate for what he lost. Consequently, the law will take its correct course regarding deliberate fabrication, lying and slander.

He continued, "Our people have faced various media attacks over the past two decades, some of which targeted our armed forces and promoted terrorism, and some of which targeted the democratic process and promoted the orphans of dictatorship. Today, there are those who cooperate with corruption, or insist on replacing their role as defined by the constitution with the profession of buffoonery and lying, just to distort the tangible government achievement, and they deliberately pollute all parties with their deviations, after receiving painful blows, and there is no corruption file that has not been dealt with by the hand of justice."

He stressed that "the government team will continue to work and give, and these exposed methods will not hinder it from achieving its goals and priorities. The war on corruption will continue, in order to extend the hand of the law, and track down anyone who harms the reputation of any Iraqi, or targets with evil the performance of anyone who provides honorable service to all Iraqis."   LINK
