According to the coalition commander, US Army Lieutenant General Paul LaCamera, the arrests "deal a major blow to the desperate attempts by ISIS to re-emerge in Iraq."
"Those who provide support to ISIS, in any way, will face the consequences," he said.
Fawaz Muhammad Jubayr al-Rawi, who headed the network, was killed in June 2017 during a strike in Albu Kamal in eastern Syria.
The US Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on al-Rawi and his company in 2016.
