The Ministry of Justice signed a Memorandum of Understanding with its Jordanian counterpart in the field of transferring those convicted of custodial sentences, except those convicted of terrorism cases.

The spokesman of the Ministry of Justice, Thaer al-Jubouri said in a statement on Tuesday that the Minister of Justice, Farouq Amin al-Shawani signed memorandum on the Iraqi side and the Jordanian Minister of Justice Bassam al-Talhouni.

He added that the memorandum of understanding took into account the laws and regulations of the two countries, in a way that serves the interests of the two brotherly peoples.
