SocalDinar Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 $112 billion in Iraq is missing: Official http://www.rudaw.net/english/business/04062017 By 5 hours ago Iraq had the largest annual budget from 2013 to 2016 after Saudi Arabia. Yet, it has rated 16 out of 21 Arab countries in corruption. Photo: Rudaw By Nwenar Fatih ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraq’s internal incomes in the oil sector alone since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime from 2003 to 2016 had reached nearly $722 billion, of which 57 percent of this portion is exported outside of the country with another $112 billion missing. “We have six precise reports in hand on transferring cash outside of the country, indicating that 57 percent of the cash made in Iraq is sent outside,” Ahmed Haji Rashid, head of the finance committee in the Iraqi parliament, told Rudaw. “What the government is using now is $115 billion and the private sector retains $58 billion. But $112 billion is still missing,” he noted. Commenting on committees formed to follow up on the fate of the cash flow out of the country, he explained, “work has been done but courts in this country are not assistive." Iraq had the largest annual budget from 2013 to 2016 after Saudi Arabia. Yet, it has rated 16 out of 21 Arab countries in corruption. Adil Nuri, a Kurdish MP and spokesperson of the Integrity committee in the Iraqi parliament believes the source of corruption is that there is not a "serious will" to battle corruption by Baghdad. “Corruption has support in Iraq with strong men backing it,” Nuri said. “There is not a serious will to end it by the prime minister, therefore our efforts to face corruption will have no results.” “Arrest warrants are issued for the corrupt ministers but they end up leaving the country,” Nuri complained. The Kurdish MP explained that through their what he described as continued efforts to investigate the missing cash in Iraq, they were able to locate $20 billion. “But the corrupt are wielding power so that they took their cases from us in the parliament.” According to Nuri, together with other domestic incomes including customs, taxes and tariffs “the total of Iraq’s incomes from 2003 to now would reach more than $1 trillion dollars. But where is it?" Nuri went on to add, “through banks and in the name of business, they [officials] end up laundering the money." "We just have the authority of observation," he said of their inability to take any measures against the officials. According to Transparency International, of 176 countries, Iraq is ranked 166 as the most corrupt countries in the World. Youth under the age of 19 make up 50 percent of the population in Iraq giving it a major manpower. But, according to UN data, the poverty line has reached 13.3 percent and daily income of the population is no more than two dollars. Additionally, 18 percent of the youth between 15 and 24 are unemployed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they mean by exported, maybe laundered. I remember about three years ago, sources saying that Iraq was 100 currupt and 700 billion missing.

skeetdog Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks SD....Iraq has financed the world's finest high-level business tycoons in their corruption to extort and extract Iraq's wealth right out from under their noses...These payouts are distributed between the corrupt tycoons and the system administrative that cover the corrupt actions that line all of their pockets...As the article states 36 minutes ago, SocalDinar said: But the corrupt are wielding power so that they took their cases from us in the parliament.” ...Ever wonder why the HCL can never get pass Parliament...They don't want to share the money with the people of Iraq could be an idea.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's been much corruption in the past--and there's still nefarious characters trying to steal. It's just part of their culture. HOWEVER, what isn't adding up is if this is common knowledge.....and is STILL going on to the extent it has in the past before Abadi put the brakes on it.....then WHY are so many countries still throwing billions at Iraq if they think it's all going to be swindled away, anyways?? I don't think there are that many dumb people in charge of these other countries (including the U.S.) nor financial people behind the scenes that would agree to continue to throw away so much of their money if this corruption was still going on as strong as it was in the past. Just my Hold on a second!! Who just stole my ??!! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGlobe7 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have to agree...with that much Dinar unaccounted for it would be hard to give the OK to give any kind of value to the Iraqi Dinar. Lets hope this is just letting the thieves know that they are being watched 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcfrag Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) That is going back all the way to 2003 also. At least they have Abadi and Jubouri in cockpit now and they are trying to do something about Maliki. Otherwise govts would not be trying to help Iraq recover from the reign of he evil Maliki and his Iranian m-a-f-i-a. Also, you know good and well Maliki was cleaning Iraq out right before ISIS rolled into Iraq in 2013 through to the summer of 2014. He had to of known what was coming and was getting ready for it. With Iraq taken over by ISIS who in the govt would ever know about the stolen money till later. Edited June 4, 2017 by jcfrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also one would think that with that many millions floating around out there Surely Big Brother who watches us all would know where it is and freeze these assets of Ill gotten gain ...
