MP Mudar Maan confirmed today, Friday, that Iraq has recovered funds that were smuggled to 5 countries.
Maan told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The fund for recovering Iraqi money smuggled abroad by corrupt people is being implemented through multiple steps in coordination with governments and international organizations, and it is dealing positively with Baghdad’s efforts.”
He added that “Iraq’s efforts succeeded in recovering funds that were smuggled to 5 countries, and there are efforts to open up to other countries, including European and Asian countries, to track down more corrupt individuals against whom judicial warrants have been issued, noting that “efforts are underway to legislate the law on recovering funds, which will be a turning point in dealing with a very important file.”
He pointed out that “the amount of smuggled money is large and the cases before the courts are complex, but the investigations have revealed a lot and there are efforts to continue to track down the most corrupt people who have fled abroad.”
It is noteworthy that tens of billions of dinars have been recovered in recent months through operations to track down corrupt individuals, especially those who fled abroad.
