" He pointed out that "there are many files of interrogation were on the agenda of the Parliament, during the past period," stressing that "these interrogations were postponed several times, for unintended and unintentional reasons."

The "battle of corruption" has become one of the most difficult battles in Iraq, at a time when the government is unable to move forward. Officials said that "corruption is stronger than the state, and that the sponsors can not approach it." 
The leader of the civil movement, Haytham al-Faraji, the "new Arab", "Abadi does not have a clear strategy to fight corruption, declared war, for months, did not exceed the statements," noting that "all files that have evidence to convict officials Where he did not approach. "

He stressed that "the files of arms deals, fake jobs, government appointments, the fall of Mosul, smuggled money, state real estate, smuggling, drugs and other files, Abadi could not open any of them, except through speech only," stressing that "corruption mafia built In the country for more than 13 years, and that those who pose them are a threat to anyone approaching them, although Abadi himself. " "It seems that the fate of Iraq will continue to sink into the depths of corruption, and that this war with the corrupt is a failed war and without results, and that the remaining period of the government, which is less than two months, is not enough to provide anything in this context, Which means that these files will be left to the next government.

 There have been many articles about Abadi working with Interpol And the IMF tracking corruption and following the money trail.  I am hoping that the seemingly lack of action against the guilty parties  is due to the fact that they are trying to gather concrete evidence and to make sure they can freeze the assets.   Then they can drop the hammer on all of them at once. (  it could happen ) 🤑

Why is Iraq classified as the world's most corrupt country?

Despite the efforts of the Iraqi government, which declared war on spoilers after the end of its war against state organization, Transparency International continues to classify Iraq as the most corrupt among the countries of the world. The deputies attributed their reasons to the lack of seriousness in the accountability of some senior officials, who are considered by the Iraqi street above the law. 
Iraq leads the list of the global corruption index, and six other Arab countries are ranked first. In its list published by Transparency International, which has more than 100 branches in the world, the index showed that Iraq was once again ranked first in terms of corruption among the countries of the world, while 6 Arab countries were listed among the 12 countries that are the most corrupt in the world.

According to the list, the most corrupt countries are Iraq, Venezuela, North Korea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, southern Sudan and Somalia.

Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Singapore, Sweden and Canada, respectively Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, Iceland, Belgium, the United States, Ireland and Japan.

The International Corruption Standard lists 180 countries in the world, each of which has been awarded a 13-point mark and a degree to reflect the concept of corruption in the public sector.

The Transparency International initiative in the oil and gas industries has already suspended Iraq's membership, bringing it back to the list of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world in its 2017 report.

According to the Integrity Commission, 32 ministers or ministers were registered, 44 of them were indicted, some of them outside Iraq, who hold nationalities for European and American countries. The first former minister, Abdul Falah al-Sudani, Minister of Commerce after being arrested at Beirut airport under INTERPOL supervision.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi announced the victory of the state organization, the start of the fight against corruption, which spread in the joints of the state, and threatens to grow and prevent any progress in the areas of service and investment in the rest of the sectors.

The statistics of the Integrity Commission pointed out that the number of corruption reports during 2017 was 17222, of which 64% was completed and the remaining one is under investigation. 
As for the recruitment orders issued against the accused, it reached 5671, the percentage of which was 78%. While total arrest orders reached 3,100, of which only 619 were executed, or 46 percent. The reason is that the majority of those who have been issued arrest warrants are now outside Iraq and have second nationalities and are protected by those countries. 
The number of ministers, and others, who were issued the orders of recruitment 32 issued in their right 44 orders, while the Iraqi judiciary issued 17 arrest warrants for ministers of 30 cases, mostly related to administrative and financial corruption. As for the special grades, any agent, general manager and ambassador, the number of applicants, including 226 accused, were issued 333 judicial orders.
The court issued arrest warrants against 117 general managers and special grades, of 221 cases related mostly to corruption, and 217 travel ban on Iraqi officials, including 18 ministers and 199 special degrees. 
In the past year, 161 arrests have been committed, with 209 accused. 
The judicial investigator Alaa Zubaidi explained that these judicial efforts or by the Integrity Commission have very limited impact within the strategy of combating corruption, and the reason is that those who apply the law need wider protection through which to punish the corrupt, otherwise the judicial and security authorities will not be able to Punish some of those who have great influence, can not be touched and everyone knows it. 
According to the newspaper "life", the law of amnesty was issued in many items, including the majority of officials arrested for arrest warrants or the introduction of corruption cases.
He pointed out that the number of persons covered by the amnesty amounted to 2252 accused of 817 cases, while the value of embezzlement of 190 million dollars, only 2.5 million recovered and the rest fled abroad.
