Al-Sudani presented the sum of the sukuk and funds disbursed by a group of the companies involved, indicating that the disbursed funds amounted to three trillion and 754 billion and 642 million and 664 thousand dinars ($2.5 billion).
money for release
Al-Sudani called on the defendants against whom arrest warrants were issued to turn themselves in and hand over the stolen sums, indicating that the government will work with the judiciary to help them in accordance with the law, indicating, "We will follow up on any accused and recover the stolen sums. The criterion of our relations with all countries is the extent of response in recovering the people's stolen money."
government parties
For his part, Haider Hanoun, head of the Federal Integrity Commission, said in statements to the official Iraqi channel, "There are important parties in the previous government that facilitated the task of removing these funds outside Iraq, and they will be announced soon."
Economic affairs specialist Safwan Qusai believes that the government's action aims to provide an opportunity to recover the stolen funds to the state treasury, stressing the need to take guarantees in order to return the funds before the release process.
Qusai said, "The process of returning the money in full is the primary goal of the government, but it is not possible to bypass the Penal Code, which sets penalties for those who try to steal public money," noting that "there may be penalties, whether imprisonment or imprisonment, for those who do such a thing." act, and the Penal Code cannot be bypassed in such a situation.”
Encouraging steps
He pointed out that the judicial authorities, when fully recovering the funds, will take into account the imposition of lenient provisions, because the main goal is to restore confidence in the Iraqi economic and financial system. He warned that the international community would deal with Iraq in a different way if the government could not impose its authority on the billions that leaked across the borders, stressing the need for an effort to return the entire amount.
He continued, "The government's failure to fully recover the money in exchange for the thief's release will reflect negatively on the international community's view of its behavior," calling on the government to tighten its grip on the stolen money and ensure that the thief will return and not mitigate the penalty except in accordance with a legal procedure.
Legal specialist Ali Al-Tamimi revealed that release on bail is possible according to the Code of Criminal Procedure, pointing out that bail is conditional on the delivery of amounts.
Al-Tamimi said, "The release is within the authority of the investigating judge, according to Articles 109 and 110 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, because the legal article under which the accused is arrested accepts bail, especially since the bail is conditional on the delivery of the sums in question."
He added that bail does not mean that the legal procedures against the accused will be forfeited, but that the case will be referred to the competent court according to the accusation article, pointing out that this procedure applies with the criminal policy that aims to achieve the public interest according to the rule that if two interests conflict, the public interest is preferred over the private one.
