The Iraqi judiciary revealed the seizure of 25 billion Iraqi dinars along with gold jewelry estimated at approximately five kilograms, within ongoing investigations into the case of the detained Undersecretary of the Ministry of Oil for Refining Affairs, Adnan Al-Jumaili, and other parties involved with him.
The investigating judge of the Central Anti-Corruption Criminal Court stated in a declaration that the funds were placed inside plastic water bottles and hidden at the suspect's house in the city of Tikrit.
The judge pointed out that the total amount of money seized in the case has risen to 127 billion Iraqi dinars and 24 million dollars, in addition to the seized real estate and gold jewelry.
He confirmed that investigations and the pursuit of other involved individuals are still ongoing to complete all legal procedures.
This case comes within the framework of a broader campaign carried out by the Iraqi government and judicial authorities to combat financial and administrative corruption, prosecute those involved in public fund squandering cases, and recover looted money—particularly in vital sectors, foremost among which is the oil sector, the primary source of state revenues.
