Lebanon will cooperate with Iraq in al-Azri case
By Malak Najem Beirut - In the case of the defected Iraqi Commercial Bank director, Hussein al-Azri, Lebanon said it will fully cooperate with Iraq.Azri was accused of corruption after the Integrity Commission and the monetary audit council revealed that Azri had granted loans without any guarantees, thus causing the lost of millions of U.S. dollars.
"There is friendship and cooperation between Iraq and Lebanon, and Lebanon is bound to treaties with Iraq in this issue", said Gharib al-Husseini, spokesman for the Lebanese Foreign Ministry.
"These treaties require Lebanon to decide about Iraq's request as soon as possible."
Iraq said yesterday that they want Lebanon to hand over Azri.
"There is now judicial, diplomatic and legal efforts done by the head of the government to return Azri, especially after we found out that he is in Beirut", a government spokesperson said.
The Ministry of Finance announced Sunday that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki appointed Hamdiya al-Jaff as new director of the Commercial Bank.
