The legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, pointed out the most important contradictions in the law on recovering the proceeds of corruption aimed at recovering smuggled money at home and abroad, which was presented by the Presidency of the Republic.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma, “The draft law on recovering the proceeds of corruption presented by the Presidency of the Republic consists of 45 articles and aims to combat corruption and ways to recover smuggled funds internally and externally. Contrasting international laws and agreements.
He added, “The project obligated the occupants of special positions to submit their accounts in other countries, and this is not possible and is not binding on these countries unless there are bilateral agreements with them, and the first was to legislate a law from where did you get this, which confirms the search for the money of the occupants of senior positions and not as it came to us.” Article 9 of the draft.
And he indicated that “Article 11 of the draft law relates to the confiscation of the seizures, and it was not known what these seizures were, because the confiscation of the money is based on a civil case, and the penalty is a fine from the competent court.”
He pointed out that “the law required the follow-up of the money even after the death of the accused, and this violates Article 150 of the Iraqi Penal Code and the charges are dropped, in addition to the fact that “the draft law did not refer to Article 47 of the Criminal Code related to confidential communications.” End/25
