A former minister reveals a change in judges who issued arrest warrants against officials

2019-12-10

Monitoring - the Iraq solution

Former Iraqi Minister Jasim Muhammad Jaafar revealed the change of some of the judges who issued arrest warrants against some of the former and current officials .

Jaafar said in a press statement that "the files that were moved by the judiciary against those who issued warrants against them are all # old and there is no new file."

He added that «the files were moved as a result of street pressure and calls of the religious authority (Ali Sistani) to hold the officials involved in corruption files accountable».

He pointed out that "the arrest warrants came in a hurry as a result of # pressure and the unstable situation."

He explained that «most of those who were issued arrest warrants are outside Iraq and it is difficult to bring them under the current circumstances».

Jaafar pointed out that "confirmed information indicates the change of some of the judges who issued arrest warrants."

The Integrity Commission issued scores of recruitment notes against deputies, ministers, and members of the former and current local government, and arrest warrants were issued against many of them on charges related to corruption and theft of public money.

However, political activist Ahmed Al-Khader confirmed earlier that the warrants for recruitment and arrest of former and current officials are formal warrants.

Al-Khader said to the correspondent of the " Iraq solution " that "all the memoranda of # recruitment , which were issued by the Iraqi Integrity and Judiciary Authority , are formal notes, and they will never perform their intended purpose."

He pointed out that «the rulings that were issued against # corrupt people who stole the money of the Iraqi people, are considered underestimating the demands of the demonstrators , because there was no talk about recovering the stolen money and they were issued form and media sanctions and will not be implemented».

Video: suspicions circulating around the authorities concerned with currency smuggling

Corruption of the currency and private banks auction smells of sit-in squares. Experts and specialists held a symposium inside what is known as the Thanawah children tent, near Tahrir Square. They disclosed in which private banks exploited legal loopholes that were made available by the currency auction in the central bank to smuggle Iraq’s money abroad, in a process of money laundering taking place under government auspices.

The absence of coordination between the central bank and regulatory institutions, and the association of most private banks with influential political figures that protect them from legal prosecution, has increased smuggled funds, as financial corruption operations with money laundering cases are estimated at more than thirteen billion dollars in one year, according to specialists.
 

Observers believe that the supervisory authorities in Parliament and the Central Bank should find urgent solutions to stop the waste of millions of dollars, which is exhausting the Iraqi economy. This negatively affects the development of the agricultural and industrial sectors.

Currency auction is one of the reasons for the October Uprising - Sana Abdel-Qader Mostafa

 The shabby proletariat and its political parties managed to dominate the Iraqi national economy by entering and manipulating the currency auction so that it achieves its goals of outrageous and rapid enrichment by deforming social relations and breaking all moral values prevailing in Iraqi society and then controlling in one way or another the management of the Central Bank of Iraq By appointing directors who belong to one of these political parties that control the administration of the state.

 And still the file of corruption in the currency auction casts a shadow on the economic and political scene also because of the linking of the banks that acquire the auction with political parties through which their parties finance and return to them with abundant financial profit at the expense of the country's economy as long as the Central Bank of Iraq law - which was issued during the presence of Paul Bremer in the helm Judgment - No. 56 of 2004 permitting the sale of hard currency to anyone who requested it without restrictions and conditions.

The currency auction is a new form of economic corruption associated with the process of money laundering in the country and the exit of hard currency from Iraq.

In a statement to a member of the Parliamentary Committee concerned with following up the implementation of the budget, Abdul Hadi Al-Saadawi, on the eighth of July, 2019, he said that the currency auction is outside the control of the central bank, which sells from 150 to 200 million dollars per day. Al-Saadawi added that "there are problems and violations recorded on the sale of the currency by the central bank, as well as the currency exchange rate, which is often mobile and unstable in most cases," noting that "any candidate for the position of the governor has to sit with the parliamentary finance to discuss these two issues."

Historical background of the currency auction problem

In 2018, a document was published indicating an explicit violation and corruption process in foreign currency sales to the Central Bank of Iraq in the sale of foreign currency in 2015 according to a letter issued by the Chairman of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives at the time, Ahmed Chalabi, in which he addressed the President of the Federal Court, calling on the judiciary to take The necessary measures to maintain Iraq 's foreign currency reserves. The book stated that the table of analysis of foreign currency sales to the Central Bank of Iraq in the auction for the sale of foreign currency on 31/5/2015, which amounted to "393,104,332" dollars, is an explicit violation of Article "50" of the state's federal budget law in 2015 that determined the bank's sales The Central Bank of Iraq is seventy-five million dollars a day, while sales for this day amounted to five and a half times the amount set by law.

And the Finance Committee of the House of Representatives made unremitting efforts to detect the smuggling of billions of dollars out of the country through fake financial companies and new money changers who drained these billions from the state treasury and from the people's power. At the time, Ahmed Chalabi was able to collect many documents that I rely on to write a report that he submitted to the Presidency of the Parliament and the Presidency of the Government. In this report, Chalabi blamed the fallout from the country's financial structure for the mafias that control the market price and that one of the causes of the economic meltdown was the waste of about $ 312 billion in the 2006-2014 period.

And economist Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani said in a statement to the Baghdad Post newspaper that “15% of Central Bank sales through the auction go as money laundering” .. indicating that “the Parliamentary Finance and Economic Committee talked about that and all government agencies were unable to stop the auction and it continues to drain the currency Difficult because of his association with big political figures. ”

Al-Mashhadani adds that “the average real imports of the private sector is 35 billion dollars annually, but what the bank sells during one year through the auction is 50 billion dollars.” He pointed out that “corruption has become evident even with the regulatory agencies, but the power and influence of the people in institutions Banks are bigger than accounting and he continues to do so despite codifying them in previous years. ”

Hard currency exit in exchange for importing fake goods

While economist Dergham Muhammad Ali says that "the auction that was established in the year 2004 was established with the aim of not having a monopoly on the dollar on one side and the purchase of the Iraqi dinar to cover the budget and prevent inflation on the other hand and it was a tool to control the exchange rate, but the value difference between the cash sale and transfers formed a margin Profit for the banks participating in the auction and a limited number of companies, which led to the smuggling of large amounts of dollars.

He stressed that "the auction has become a conduit for profit instead of the real banking and for the exit of the dollar with import licenses that do not import anything and the audit is not conducted on the goods purchased against these transfers, which constituted a conduit for the corrupt to take out their money outside the country in a legal way and not to adopt documentary credits used in the world to cover commercial deals and where banks are still limited Now, the banking companies share the spoils of the auction by converting the currency abroad without an import need and with various addresses, which led to the loss of tens of billions of annually from the smuggled foreign currency.

Establishing banks inside Iraq without checking the identity of their founders

For his part, economist Mohammed Al-Hasnawi says that there are "banks, especially Islamic ones, which have been opened and granted licenses without any scrutiny of their financial capabilities and capabilities" ... revealing "the presence of banks opened by employees working in the Central Bank or participating in them."

Al-Hasnawi adds that "these banks do not perform any credit work, but their work is restricted to the currency auction and the conversion of hard currency out of the country through money laundering" .. He called "the central bank and regulatory authorities to scrutinize how these banks obtained the founding license."

The deputy of the Al-Hikma stream Ali Al-Budeiri said that “the money wasted at the currency auction over the past years is equivalent to the budgets of countries and sufficient to operate a large number of suspended factories and eliminate the largest percentage of unemployment in the country.” He pointed out that “there are some parties that dominate the decision and have Control of some media outlets prevents the highlight of this dangerous file.

Al-Badiri adds that “some of the beneficiaries of the currency auction are present at the source of the decision, whether the decision is legislative or executive,” indicating that “any party or deputy opens the subject of the currency auction, it is closed with strange strange speed.”

Al-Badiri notes that "the hard currency goes out of Iraq in money laundering operations and currency smuggling under different addresses, incorrect receipts and bonds" .. pointing out that "there is regional and internal planning and an impermissibility of corruption files in the currency auction and the mafias controlling it."

Al-Badiri confirms, “If we leave all the files of corruption and focus on the files of the border outlets and the currency auction, we will return huge sums to the country’s treasury and provide a very important import for the coming budgets.”

Currency auction is a big file of corruption

For her part, Nada Shaker Jawdat, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy and Investment, said, “The Parliamentary Committee on Economy and Investment is in the process of investigating the issue of the currency auction.” Stating that “we have continuous communication with a number of private entities in this field.”

Jawdat adds that "the process of wasting currency and what is going on in the currency auction is something that we have not heard or seen in all countries of the world that take all measures to preserve its difficult currency from waste and work to legalize spending from it even in the field of import to reasonable levels." That "what is happening in Iraq is a case of fake imports and other methods that lead daily to waste large numbers of hard currency without reason."

Shaker notes that "the file of the currency auction is a large file of corruption, and we have worked to open an investigation into it, but the demonstrations and focus on the laws that support the demands of the masses, including the law on the partnership between the public and private sectors, made the investigation procedures take place with care" .. explaining that "among the proposals What we have to reduce waste by auction the currency is to impose a tax on money out of certain proportions in order to create revenue for the state and make things happen correctly.

Jawdat asserts, "This proposal was widely welcomed by the General Tax Authority, and we have reached a semi-final formula and it needs to be ripened in order to put it up formally." Stressing the way forward "in the procedures to preserve the hard currency from waste and corruption, and we have coordination and cooperation with the side The exchange, the central bank, and the tax authority in this regard.

As for researcher Shatha Khalil, she says, “The auction of selling dollars is a law that was legalized and ordered by former civil ruler of Iraq Paul Primer in 2004 and it is the only auction in the Middle East region and is one of the biggest challenges facing the Iraqi state as it distorts public policy and destroys the economy. This auction continued with his work until Now it is exploited by influential people and prominent officials in the political process associated with Iran in smuggling Iraqi money, money laundering and recycling in favor of the Iranian economy in financing terrorism and facing American sanctions and for their own interests.

She adds that, according to the investigation of the committees of the Iraqi parliament and international reports, an amount of 312 billion dollars has been wasted and looted over the past years, which are oil revenues that the Central Bank of Iraq pumped to the markets and most of them were transferred abroad ... explaining that this is a very large number in a country suffering a crisis Stifling economic situation in the state of "wealth" borrowed from the International Monetary Fund to cover its expenses!

It is noteworthy that the Central Bank of Iraq sells the dollar to private banks and money transfer companies through the auction that it conducts daily at an amount of 150 million dollars, which increases these numbers or decreases according to demand by these banks, which affects in one way or another the reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq, which was significantly affected In recent times, due to the lack of symmetry between what he gets from the dollar and between the auction sale process.

Washing hard currency out of borders

It is noteworthy that the frequency of accusations escalated regarding the currency smuggling operations that cast a shadow over the selling prices of the dollar in local markets and led to an increase in its exchange rate months ago, while deputies called for the government to stop selling the currency at the central bank auctions, others confirmed that Iraq was losing money It is costly as a result of her smuggling daily out of the borders.
