Took long enough...Time to pay up Boys... This is what you get for following Maliki .. and his day is just around the corner

[jg1]

That's right you're all going down. Pay that $15 fine. Then you can start governing again with the promotion. About the same thing that happened to Obama's people.

[mr.unlikely]

This is awesome! I'm grinning like ancheshire cat right now. AliBaba and his forty thieves are going down. Notice how that nonsense seems to stop in 2014. All of the A listers had their hand in the cookie jar. It reads like the role call list for a meeting of the GOI. No wonder nobody ever showe up to a parliamentary meeting. They get fined 500 bucks for missing roll call but they collect millions in bribes. I hope they get a fair and speedy trial then hang em at first light. Abadi the incorruptible. That's what they call him. I don't know why but they do. Serioulsy though, Abadi has done and is doing so much for the country of Iraq and by default, us, I am very confident that this will turn out the way we want it to. At this rate June could be a window of opportunity.

Yota Thanks, mr.unlikely Totally Agree,  Excellent summarization in hopes that PM Abadi insists the judiciary take action on all of these crooks.  BTW, Please ensure they return all money as well both politicians and the companies that paid the bribes.  Bar them from working on any / all contracts in Iraq.

IRAQ TO INVESTIGATE CLAIMS OF UNAOIL CORRUPTION AGAINST TOP OFFICIALS

The report named several Iraqi officials, including former oil minister Hussein al-Shahristani who it alleged had accepted millions of dollars in bribes.

Iraq, April 4, 2016 

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Saturday directed the country’s highest corruption watchdog to investigate claims of graft in the awarding of oil contracts by the OPEC exporter and urged the courts to prosecute.

 

A joint report this week by Australia’s Fairfax Media and the Huffington Post, citing hundreds of thousands of emails, linked energy services company Unaoil and several international oil companies to corrupt practices such as claims of bribery in countries including Iraq.

 

“Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi directs the Integrity Commission to take legal measures and calls on the judiciary to open immediate legal proceedings concerning the grave newspaper reports,” according to a statement from his office.

 

Iraq, which relies on oil exports for most of its revenue, has been plagued by corruption and mismanagement for years, ranking 161 out of 168 on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index in 2015.

 

Graft continues to eat away at the government’s resources as it struggles with high spending due to the costs of the war against jihadist group Islamic State, which seized a third of Iraq’s territory in the north and west in 2014.

 

Abadi has pledged to battle corruption and on Thursday proposed a cabinet reshuffle aimed at weakening patronage networks, but he faces resistance from politicians who fear reform would undermine their wealth and influence.

 

The report named several Iraqi officials, including then-oil minister Hussein al-Shahristani who it alleged had accepted millions of dollars in bribes to influence the awarding of lucrative contracts.

 

Shahristani, now outgoing minister of higher education, has denied the accusations. He said on Saturday he was not aware of any attempt to bribe oil ministry officials during his tenure and had never been in contact with anyone from Unaoil.

 

“I have not met nor communicated with these people by phone or email - directly or through an intermediary - or in any way whatsoever, neither in the period between 2010 and 2012 nor before or after it,” he told reporters. “The first time I heard these names was in this report.”

 

Shahristani, a leader in Iraq’s ruling National Alliance coalition, urged the government to investigate everyone named in the report, including himself, and called on the Huffington Post to hand over all the documents it referenced.

 

“The law obligates whoever has information (about corruption) to reveal it,” he said.

The last article states, "“Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi directs the Integrity Commission to take legal measures and calls on the judiciary to open immediate legal proceedings concerning the grave newspaper reports,” according to a statement from his office."

Looks like Abadi is going to have the judiciary put 'em in the ground.

The last article also states, "Shahristani, a leader in Iraq’s ruling National Alliance coalition, urged the government to investigate everyone named in the report, including himself, and called on the Huffington Post to hand over all the documents it referenced."

Good luck with that one, dude.

Thank you Yota

Would this also include the officials that were responsible for the shenanigans corruption that went on with Saddam's food for oil dealings? Either way, great freaking news. I say the first 5 people who provide proof of Maliki's illegalities, corruption, and money trails get a severely reduced sentence. How has Maliki's effort to stone wall the vote on the Abadi Reform Packages going? ... Are they still going on? More evidence that Maliki is not working to reunite the people of this country.
