The Director of Organized Crime Operations in the Ministry, Brigadier General Hussein Al-Tamimi, said in a statement reported by Al-Sabah newspaper, seen by Al-Maaloumah, that “the Ministry had previously launched in the middle of this month, in cooperation with the Central Bank, a campaign to prevent owners of markets and shops from dealing in dollars and limiting this process to dinars.” He pointed out that the Directorate indicated a great response by the owners of commercial centers to deal in dinars.
He added, “The campaign is still continuing in all governorates, with the exception of the Kurdistan region, through detachments that carry out inspection and monitoring campaigns in centers, commercial markets, and car showrooms.”
Al-Tamimi pointed out that “there are some weak-minded people who take advantage of the discrepancy in dollar prices and their lack of commitment to the pledges that were taken from them, and accordingly all legal measures were taken against the violators of the decisions issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces No. 23 and 26 who obligated commercial centers and owners of car showrooms to deal in dinars instead of dollars.” , indicating that the penalty for the violator is up to five years in prison
