On Monday, an investigating judge at the Central Anti-Corruption Criminal Court revealed that investigations are continuing into the case of the detained Undersecretary of the Ministry of Oil for Liquidation Affairs, Adnan al-Jumaili, and the parties involved with him.
The judge in charge said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that, as a result of the careful follow-up to seize the financial proceeds resulting from the waste in the projects implemented by the accused and the parties to the case, the total amount of money seized has increased to reach 10 million US dollars and 31 billion Iraqi dinars.
He pointed out that “continued efforts by the court resulted yesterday, Sunday, in the seizure of approximately 20 billion Iraqi dinars that were hidden in one of the farms, in addition to thwarting the smuggling of 5 billion Iraqi dinars in one of the governorates.”
He added that “the legal procedures also included the seizure and confiscation of 70 properties, 21 modern vehicles, in addition to gold jewelry estimated at (3) kilograms,” stressing that “the investigations and pursuit of the other involved parties are continuing until all legal procedures are completed.”
It is worth noting that an informed source told Shafaq News Agency last month that a special security force arrested the Deputy Minister of Oil for Refining Affairs (General Manager of the Northern Refineries Company and Baiji Refinery) “Adnan Hamad Hamoud”, on charges related to corruption cases.
The source explained that the arrest operation was carried out in the “Ishaqi” area of Salah al-Din Governorate, and came after the Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi declared war on corruption and audited government contracts.
