[SHAFAQ] It is cumbersome to illustrate the details of a man who is deeply rooted in the Iraqi security and intelligence scene, especially for a character like Ahmed Abu Ragheef's, who has been at the forefront of events and news in recent months, turning into what might be called Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi's "strike force".The features of this distinct character can be easily discerned via news headlines about him, "Abu Ragheef refers a high-security official to investigation for reciting the Qur'an in military uniform", "Abu Ragheef overthrows the intelligence director in al-Tarmiyah", "Abu Ragheef's Committee arrests a senior intelligence official", "Abu Ragheef's committee arrests two government officials", "Abu Ragheef's Committee overthrows the director-general of a government company", and "Abu Ragheef issues strict economic security orders to prevent price manipulation".
These are just examples of headlines about Abu Ragheef's duties, who has been in charge of federal intelligence and investigations at the Interior Ministry since January 23, 2021, and chaired the High Commission for the Investigation of Major Corruption and Exceptional Crimes since its formation August 27, 2020.
