Al-Khafaji added, “The second step is through activating the Illicit Gain Law, and from where did you get this, for those who have reached the point of obscene wealth and have become owners of banks, palaces and countless money, and follow-up from where they got that money, is it before 2003 or after?” This history and how to obtain it in detail,” he said, noting that “some people did not own anything and lived a very simple life, then today they have become owners of factories, huge projects and very large assets, and we must know where they got that money.”
