On 3 October, Sabereen News (KH — affiliated/aligned media) and Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated/aligned media) published identical allegations that Azm’s nominee for the Planning Ministry had relatives belonging to terrorist organizations and had been convicted in absentia of corruption. The letter displayed by Unit 10,000 names Saddam Hussein Habib Abd al-Tamimi, identified by the channel as the nominee; it appears to describe an earlier six-year corruption sentence and subsequent release by a Federal Court of Cassation decision.

The caption and displayed letter give materially different accounts of the nominee’s legal position: the caption foregrounds a conviction, while the letter appears to include a later court decision releasing him.
