The Integrity Commission pledged on Sunday to reveal surprises in the files concerning the recovery of funds and the accused.
The Director General of the Recovery Department at the Federal Integrity Commission, Abbas Mutab, stated in a statement to the official newspaper that “the Commission was able to recover the equivalent of half of the accused who fled from Iraq in relation to the previous period, in addition to very good percentages of the funds that were recovered from abroad.”
He stressed “the existence of great cooperation with the International Police (Interpol) and law enforcement agencies,” adding that “there is a problem with cooperation with countries regarding the extradition of some of the accused, and the difference in laws between Iraq and other countries. What is applied on the ground in the country cannot be applied in other countries. Moreover, the money that was smuggled out of Iraq has become mixed with the economies of other countries, which requires a file to study the case, follow up on it, collect evidence, and implement it to prove that those funds belong to Iraq.”
Mutab explained that “what is coming in the recovery file this year holds many surprises, whether in terms of large sums of money or accused figures who fled the country years ago, and that these efforts are being carried out with the support of the head of the Integrity Commission and the head of the Supreme Judicial Council.”
