Former Iraqi defense minister, who holds dual Iraqi-Swedish citizenship, has been arrested in Sweden on suspicion of illegally receiving benefits in the country. Najah al-Shammari, wanted for nearly a year and a half, was apprehended at Stockholm airport upon his arrival in Sweden.
Reports indicate that al-Shammari allegedly claimed child and housing support for an extended period while residing in Baghdad. Despite being registered as living in a Stockholm suburb, he reportedly continued to receive social payments even after returning to Iraq.
