Baghdad's Karkh Criminal Court found al-Baghdadi's first wife, Asma Muhammad, guilty of collaborating with an extremist organization and holding ethnic-minority Yazidi women captive in her home.
"The terrorist woman had detained Yazidi women in her house, and then they were kidnapped by Daesh gangs in the district of Sinjar, west of Nineveh province," the Council said in a statement.
The Iraqi judiciary announced an investigation into al-Baghdadi's family members in February following their repatriation from abroad. Asma Muhammad was captured in Turkey in 2018, where she fled to, together with his daughter Leila.
Daesh fighters captured large areas of northern and western Iraq in 2014, including the country's second-most populous city, Mosul. Iraq declared victory over Daesh in late 2017, although the operation to root out so-called Daesh sleeper cells in hard-to-reach areas continued.
