"Most of the members of the gang are my friends. We live in one area. I worked as an associate in the Interior Ministry. I left work for certain circumstances. After that, I met a person named Samer. On the subject of kidnappings. "
"I offered the subject to my brother, who works as an accountant for a merchant in a beautiful area and, after agreeing, convinced him that his role is only to provide us with information about the victims, their areas of residence and their movements," said the defendant, who is the mastermind of most of the operations during his confessions before the judge handling cases of the Baghdad Operations Command.
"The operation targeted a food trader in a beautiful market based on information provided to us by my brother who included his place of work, his residence and his movements, and after that he was monitored to see when he left the house," he said.

"We were hiding the victims in a house belonging to a member of the gang, but the rest of the group are unaware of his whereabouts and when going to the house to put the victim in it are not accompanied by the rest of us for fear of arresting one of them and through the rest is reached and sometimes because of our lack of confidence in some of them.
"When we went on a tour and on the highway Mohammed al-Qasim, one of the citizens was selected based on his appearance and was traveling in a modern expensive car and we intercepted his way and forced him to stop and kidnap him at gunpoint," said another member of the gang. "We contacted his family and asked for a sum of five hundred thousand US dollars. A lower amount was agreed and received in the same old way."
"The amounts were divided on certain defendants, while the others were distributed a few rations under the pretext that the amount they were bargaining a little while they take large sums of money as well as the process of agreeing on the amount and receipt and delivery was administered by them."
"One of the abductees fled. This led to the discovery of one of the accused. The accused had to avoid the matter and pay a sum of money as a tribal part. This sum was collected from the gang members' shares after an operation was carried out."
The defendant mentioned details of other operations, including the targeting of a gold dealer in one of the Rusafa areas, pointing out that "this process was carried out through the victim's follow-up and his family was agreed to a hundred thousand dollars, but they told us that only thirty thousand were received and divided into the rest of the gang."
