Iraqi Integrity Commission Introduces New Measures to Pursue Defendants Abroad and Recover Funds
The Iraqi Integrity Commission announced the preparation of drafts for international memoranda of understanding aimed at recovering stolen funds and suspects involved in corruption cases. It clarified that some countries are uncooperative due to economic and humanitarian reasons. Additionally, the Supreme Judicial Council revealed new measures to combat corruption, including streamlining legal procedures for whistleblowers and recovering more than $280 million in the "Century Theft" case, as well as detaining several officials and deputies. Iraq heavily relies on oil, and since 2003, the estimated cost of corruption has reached approximately $500 billion, which hampers development efforts and financial stability.
