This comes after they were convicted in cases related to graft, according to data from the Federal Integrity Commission.

The court ruled 7 years in prison against MPs Nassif and Ashwaq Salem, while a prison sentence for the same period was issued against MP Bahaa El-Din Al-Nouri. The provisions also included obligating those convicted to return the amounts derived from illegal gain and imposing financial fines equal to their value, while upholding the seizure of their movable and immovable property.

The court obliged MP Ashwaq Salem to return about two billion dinars and 114 million dinars, in addition to about 2.9 million dollars, and imposed a similar fine, bringing the total value of the funds and fines requested from them to approximately 11.9 billion dinars. She was also sentenced to three years in prison for concealing information in the financial disclosure form, with the most severe penalty to be carried out.

In the case of Representative Alia Nassif, the Integrity Commission said that the value of the illegal increase in its funds exceeded 14.2 billion dinars and more than 12.4 million dollars, noting that the total funds required to be returned and the corresponding fine exceeded 61 billion dinars. She was also sentenced separately to three years in prison for concealing information related to her financial assets, with the harsher penalty being applied.

As for MP Bahaa El-Din Al-Nouri, he was required to return the value of financial inflation in his funds exceeding 14 billion dinars, in addition to more than 12 million dollars, in addition to a fine equal to the value.

The Commission explained that the rulings were based on Article 19/Second of the Integrity and Illicit Gain Commission Law, while reserving the right to demand compensation for damages after the rulings became final.
