Iraqi forces seize $14M from oil official
Iraqi authorities announced the seizure of more than $14 million with an oil official as part of a wide crackdown on corruption initiated by the judiciary at dawn on Sunday. The campaign included the arrest of 47 suspects, among them deputies and officials. Investigations are focused on the oil official, Ali al-Bahadli, who was found in possession of $11 million and 4 billion Iraqi dinars, in addition to the seizure of several properties. The investigations are still ongoing as part of the government's efforts to combat corruption ahead of Prime Minister's visit to Washington in mid-July, during which he has committed to fighting it.
