10th November, 2022
The legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, explained the legal ways through which the government of Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani can recover the smuggled and looted funds outside the country.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma, “The best international move to recover the smuggled funds abroad, which is estimated at 500 billion US dollars, is through the 2003 money laundering agreement signed by Iraq in 2007 with the help of these countries, as well as in accordance with the Baghdad and Washington agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the agreement for the year 2008”.
He added that “Iraq has the right to recover its money in accordance with Article 50 of the United Nations Charter, which affirms the right of countries that fight organizations under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations to request the assistance of the United Nations and Iraq was fighting the terrorist ISIS under Chapter VII pursuant to Resolution 2170 of 2014.”
And he indicated that “some countries, including those mentioned, have a lot of smuggled money and are also wanted by the judiciary, and they can help Iraq recover its smuggled money, as the US Federal Bank contains 65 billion dollars frozen belonging to the previous regime and Iraq can claim it, according to the above agreement for the year 2008.” LINK
