Mishaan al-Jubouri was found guilty of embezzling millions of dollars from funds allocated for the protection of Iraq's oil industry.

His son, Yezin, was also convicted and received a similar sentence.

Both men were sentenced in their absence after apparently fleeing from Iraq to Syria.

"The Central Criminal Court of Iraq has sentenced in absentia former MP Mishan al-Jubouri and his son Yezin for corruption," the court said in a statement.
