    Al-Sumaria News - Local

    : A British report reviewed the effects of imposing an alcohol ban within the Municipal Imports Law that was legislated in Iraq in March of last year 2023. The report indicates that bribery has flourished, and some officers have begun to compete and pay huge sums of money in exchange for being appointed officials over the controls between The Kurdistan Region, Baghdad, and the central and southern governorates.

    Tony, who has been working in the alcohol trade for more than 30 years, said: “We are still working, but in an illegal way. Since the law banning alcohol imports and sales was issued in March 2023, everything is now done with bribes.”

    Along with high taxes, paying huge bribes at every checkpoint is now the main expense faced by the underground alcohol industry, as all types of alcohol enter the country via[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]From there, it is transported by truck to...[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], passing through about six checkpoints, each of which requires payment.

    These checkpoints have become so profitable that it is said Military commanders pay their own internal bribes to set up specific checkpoints along the routes used by trucks transporting alcohol supplies towards the capital, according to the Middle East Eye website.

    Despite the ban, business licenses must also be obtained, Tony said: “It still has to be done We have to submit the application and pay, but we are not getting any receipts or official papers now.”

    One brewer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “The brewery is still running because I pay. This year, I paid the taxes and paid for the license but without any paperwork.”


    The report indicates that the government began making the renewal of alcoholic beverage licenses very difficult since 2009, and people were either stopping work or working illegally, then around 2016, it started to become easier again, after the defeat of ISIS.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The alcohol scene flourished[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]But in 2023, the Iraqi government passed a law banning alcoholic beverages.

    One of the alcohol merchants described that we lost about 50% of the people who were working in this trade, Christians and Iraqi minorities, because we are the only ones who can obtain licenses to work in this field, indicating that this law practically allows the police to arrest any priest because he drinks alcohol at the altar. While celebrating Mass, there are no rights for Christians in this country.”
