Iraq: 21 international investigators to examine the prime ministers of corruption files

Baghdad, Ahmed al-Nuaimi and Ali al-Husseini

August 20, 2016

Informed government sources within the office of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi, " the new Arab", the 21 international investigators will arrive in Baghdad at the end of this month to start an investigation into financial corruption files, based on a memorandum of understanding signed by the Iraqi government with the United Nations last week. This comes amid a great interception by Iraqi political parties considered the government 's move as casting doubt on the judiciary and allowing insulting the important figures in the country through her interrogation by specialized international. 

According to private sources in the office of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi, speaking for " the new Arab", the international investigators, all Western, except for Arabic and one from Jordan, were given full freedom to scan files and documents and review the records and documents of the ministries and the central bank and the financial Inspection Office in Baghdad, in the light of the agreement with the United Nations last week. 
the prime minister, Haidar al - Abbadi, a formal request United Nations assistance in clarifying the fate of $ 361 billion is missing from the budgets of the country between 2004 and 2014, as well as the fate of the thousands of projects and investments in electricity, housing and agriculture sectors. 

and in spite of the expenditure of the state on those sectors a total of $ 98 billion over ten years. 
according to the same sources, the team awarded the investigation with the former prime minister the power they Iyad Allawi (2004 to 2005) and Ibrahim al - Jaafari (2005 to 2006) and Nuri al - Maliki (2006 to 2014), as well as former ministers. 
and will be able to team of the investigation with officials currently outside the country, thanks to the status of the UN team , which enables him so.

 

 

Efforts to fight corruption in Iraq since 2003 , did not succeed, and even now, as reports indicate that the total thefts of public money in the country amounted to about $ 850 billion. The cause of corruption in the institutions and departments of the Iraqi state in many of the security and economic problems, prompting thousands of Iraqis to get out in massive demonstrations demanding the submission of the corrupt to justice. 
He called Iraqi politicians, on several occasions, bringing in experts and international investigators to uncover the files of corruption in the Iraqi government and its institutions different, to banish the specter of political and partisan armed influences on the investigation, and to be fair and impartial and independent. 

The office issued Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al - Abadi, a statement, last Thursday, in which he stated that " the Iraqi side signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Nations Organization, in order to recruit and involve international investigators specialists , to detect large corruption in the country "files. this 
comes at a time when popular demands in Iraq continues to reveal the large files of corruption, Kcefqat arms and explosives detectors and rounds of oil licensing that has wasted billions of dollars from the state budget. 

the face of the Iraqi integrity Commission, specialized in detecting corrupt files , accusations of not being serious in resolving those files and cover up the other by the jurists, politicians and protesters demanding the body need to resolve those outstanding issues after the detection of the Iraqi people and present them to justice. 
the observers that the participation of international investigators in uncovering the corruption in Iraq comes in continuation of the political reforms launched by Prime Iraqi Haider Abadi Minister mid - 2015 following the mass demonstrations demanded that the fight against corruption. 

he was vice president, Iyad Allawi, earlier called for the need to bring in international investigators to uncover the accumulated corruption in Iraq files and resolution and submit it to the Iraqi judiciary. 
he said analysts and experts that the participation of experts international in the fight against corruption in Iraq is a very important step to detect corrupt files and find out thefate of the money looted from the country. 
in this regard, he said Iraqi economist Salim al - Jumaili, for "new Arab", " the government Abadi has an important step to contract with the United Nations and international investigators to uncover corruption in Iraq files since 2003. 
include investigations smuggling money and smuggling of oil contracts and armament. " 

Jumaili explained that" investigations involving phantom contracts concluded in the reign of the former prime minister, Nuri al - Maliki, and the operations of smuggling gold and the dollar , which rescued the Iranian economy from collapse, and all calculations of the Central Bank and money laundering. " 
He pointed out that" the investigation will be long and will reveal the extent of corruption and remove the mask the true face of religious parties and leaders of the ruling economic and its arms. " He expressed the hope that the United Nations strict procedures, in order to prevent the corruption of international investigators or blur the results of the investigation for political or security purposes, and that the results announced in front of the Iraqi people and the world. 

And reliable Many jurists and experts on international investigations to uncover the files of corruption in Iraq since 2003 and that caused the waste of billions of dollars of Iraq 's budget through successive governments, arguing that international investigations are best able to disassociate Bmhakekayaa for partisan political influences and buy Zmmanm, as is currently happening in Iraq. 
the remains of hundreds of files relating to corruption belong to the military, security and economic aspects are stuck, it is not exposed because of pressure political of parties and blocks governor in the country, with many political parties are trying to pressure to prevent the opening of those internationally files, according to sources. 

assumed the political parties of the ruling companies, is responsible for the reconstruction of Iraq file, and the result was that the integrity Commission has issued arrest of 22 ministers and 335 director-general orders, all of them belong to the current political parties , which control the country, on charges of financial corruption and deals pass local and foreign companies. But the political blocs were able to disable the arrest warrants against its officials. 

For his part, a spokesman said the Iraqi government , Saad al - Hadithi, Iraq hired investigators international in the files of corruption, and that the presence of those investigators will ensure impartial investigations and to get rid of the pressure that may be exerted on the Iraqi interrogator. 
He pointed out that " the issue of corruption in Iraq spiky and very large and the accumulation of many years ago." He said that "this note will work on the investigation of corruption cases a priority, there will be training and rehabilitation of the Iraqi competencies through these investigations." 
He attributed the causes of newborn hire investigators to Iraq pressure that might be exerted on the Iraqi interrogator.

[Synopsis]

The article states (the amount is highlighted in the post), "Efforts to fight corruption in Iraq since 2003 , did not succeed, and even now, as reports indicate that the total thefts of public money in the country amounted to about $ 850 billion."

I suspect a significant amount of the stolen money was used to pay people off for black market goods and was subsequently spent on other things so the money ended up in circulation in and out of Iraq.  As such, a significant portion of the circulated funds may not be recoverable.  However, the people who pilfered the money, and those who supplied the black market goods, can be identified, indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated or executed.

What pilfered money remains that was deposited in foreign accounts, and transferred among foreign accounts, is likely recoverable fairly readily once the corrupt have been identified with the accounts associated with them and their shell identities.  Even if a quarter (212.5 billion USD) or a third (283.3 billion USD) of this stolen money was returned, Iraq could pay off their financial obligations and have a significant boost to their reserves.  There would also be a lot of money for investment purposes to loan to people and businesses to get their economy going.  Also, having no debt, ISIS removed, a fully seated government, and corruption significantly reduced should help out their credit rating.
