MP Ahmed Rahim Al-Moussawi revealed, on Saturday, the recovery of about 3 billion dinars from the theft of the century in Diyala.
Al-Moussawi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, “The theft of funds from accounts belonging to the Diyala Governorate Diwan by employees initially ranged from 7-8 billion dinars. Many of those involved were arrested and approximately 3 billion dinars were recovered, according to the information.”
He added, “With the continuation of investigations by the judiciary and integrity in Diyala, it became clear that the indicators point in the direction that the stolen amount reaches about 40 billion dinars. This matter requires time and arrangement and raises questions about whether a simple employee can steal this money without cover and facilities according to multiple mechanisms.”
He pointed out that “the local government of Diyala is required before public opinion to reveal the amount of money that was stolen and the legal procedures, in addition to stating the reasons that led to accepting the bail of some of the accused, even though the bail amount does not reach 1% of the amount of money stolen, stressing that the theft of the century in Diyala must be revealed in all its details and those involved must be brought before the Iraqi judiciary.”
It is noteworthy that the theft of billions of dinars from the Diyala Diwan accounts, the first details of which were revealed last April, stirred public opinion, especially with the amount of stolen money rising to about 40 billion dinars.
