[size=52]Why do government officials respond to blackmailers?[/size]
[size=45]Dhi Qar / Hussein Al-Amil[/size]
[size=45]One of the observers, while talking about the emergence of a group of extortionists living on the corruption of government officials, says that “extortion came from the core of corruption, and he is the legitimate son of it.” Unable to live without providing the required money from the official who is subject to blackmail to cover up the scandal.”[/size]
[size=45]A video clip circulated by the media recently revealed scenes of the director of a government department in Dhi Qar summoning the police to arrest two people trying to blackmail employees in his service department by exploiting their media capacity.[/size]
[size=45]Dhi Qar Governor Ahmed Ghani al-Khafaji said in this regard that "extortion exists and I believe that all government executives are subjected to it," adding that "extortion operations vary between personal blackmail by people or by other unnamed parties."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Khafaji, who took office three months ago, explained that "some people with narrow personal interests are trying to obtain gains from the governorate departments, but the governorate door is blocked in front of every blackmailer and every corrupt, and there is no place for corrupt blackmailers in Dhi Qar."[/size]
[size=45]The governor of Dhi Qar indicated that "he personally was not subjected to great pressure or real blackmail."[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the media observer of the local media affairs, Wissam Al-Sayed Taher, believes that “the process of extortion is mutual between the directors of the departments and the people emergency on the media, as some directors of the departments pressure certain parties to achieve some gains, and in return, the blackmailers of those affiliated with the media blackmail them with corruption files they are involved in.” He added that “The extent of corruption in government departments is what allows blackmailers to bargain with officials through what they get from corruption files.”[/size]
[size=45]He added in an interview with (Al-Mada) that "the official's subjection to cases of extortion encouraged extortionists to persist in extortion, so that extortion has become rampant and affects many senior officials," noting that "extortion operations are not limited to managers and senior officials, but even include some employees who aspire to To take government positions while they are involved in previous corruption files, and they bargain with blackmailers and achieve their demands in exchange for silence on the scandal that may topple the career future of the corrupt employee.[/size]
[size=45]On Monday (March 29, 2021), the National Security Agency published a video clip showing the moment of the arrest of a Dhi Qar Oil Company official. In a subsequent statement, the agency clarified the details of the arrest of an oil official taking bribes in Dhi Qar Governorate, and $100,000 was seized in his possession.[/size]
[size=45]And about the nature of extortion to which a government employee is subjected and the compensation that the extortioner receives, the media observer said that “extortion operations are represented in obtaining material gains, conducting non-fundamental transactions, or obtaining housing plots or contracting in government projects.”[/size]
[size=45]Mr. Taher concluded that “there is a response to blackmailers, and on the other hand, there is a restriction of real voices calling for administrative reform, which use constructive criticism to improve government performance and cleanse institutions and departments of corruption,” stressing that “many government departments encouraged young blackmailers as they were able to contain them by offering small gains. However, it stands in the face of every real demand to change corrupt and failed officials and those involved in files and administrative violations that harmed the public interest and deprived citizens of the most basic services.[/size]
[size=45]Mr. Taher, who was sued a few years ago by a service department after he revealed the use of expired materials to sterilize drinking water, added that "some officials in government departments exercise pressure and clannish blackmail sometimes against anyone who criticizes the performance of their departments constructive criticism to improve their performance."[/size]
[size=45]And about the role of influential parties in putting pressure on officials and employees and attempts to bring them down to appoint another person affiliated with them, the media observer said that “political misappropriation is a possibility and takes place in all countries of the world and there is the honor of antagonism, but many parties in Iraq lack that honor and are working to eradicate the other and use the most insignificant means. Projection in order to achieve partisan gains at the expense of the public interest.”[/size]
[size=45]A report by Transparency International issued in early 2021 revealed that Iraq ranked 160th in terms of the 180 countries included in the Corruption Perceptions Index, with a score of 21 out of 100.[/size]
