The arrested individuals included government employees and members of criminal networks. Among the dismantled groups were a land forgery network in Diyala and another involved in forging martyr retirement transactions in Baghdad. Officials involved in manipulating state land assessments in Maysan and members of inspection committees in Diwaniya were also apprehended. Additionally, employees caught red-handed in bribery and forgery were seized in Basra and Diyala, including a Basra official who received a $10,000 bribe.
