Former Anti-Corruption Council member Saeed Yassin revealed, on Wednesday, the amount of money stolen from Iraq as a result of corrupt deals, indicating that the total amount is estimated at about 360 billion dollars and deposited in Turkey, the UAE and Jordan.
Yassin said in a televised interview, followed by “The Information”, that “the sums that were stolen from Iraq as a result of corrupt political deals are estimated at 360 billion dollars, and that money laundering and terrorist financing are at the fore in the corruption files.”
He added that “the UN Security Council urged Switzerland to cooperate with Iraq to return its smuggled money, but Iraq does not have an effective intelligence component against that money.”
Yassin pointed out that “most of that smuggled money is currently in the banks of Lebanon, Jordan, the Emirates, Georgia and Ukraine, and the strange thing is that the Iraq Funds Committee in the Ministry of Finance only met once, which indicates that there is no seriousness in recovering the smuggled money.” Done/ 25 d
