Former MP Yasser Hashem revealed on Saturday a corruption case involving hypermarkets, confirming the involvement of a large number of prominent politicians, including the head of the Sovereignty Alliance, Khamis al-Khanjar.
Hashem told the Information Agency that “the money laundering operations carried out by Khamis al-Khanjar and his son Sarmad involve converting funds looted from the state budget and bribes into legitimate assets or circulating them within the economy. This is done by exploiting large central markets (hypermarkets) to mix stolen funds with legitimate daily revenues and transfer them to the banking system as commercial profits.”
He called on Prime Minister Ali Mohsen al-Ahmad to “open this case and prosecute those involved in money laundering operations, which are the real front for legitimizing funds looted from the country and smuggling them abroad.”
Earlier, a Syrian source revealed to Al-Maalomah news agency that a number of Iraqi politicians, including Khamis al-Khanjar, are smuggling money into Syria and depositing it in Syrian private banks, then transferring it to Turkey and Cyprus under the names of Syrian and Lebanese investors.
