In front of a delegation of Iraqi journalists, Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi told the room he had been offered a $200 million bribe to bury corruption inside Iraq’s Oil Ministry...He took it to the press. The man who carried the offer was already in custody. Adnan Mohammed Hammoud, Deputy Oil Minister for Refining Affairs and Director General of the North Refineries Company, was arrested Friday evening…Communications Minister Mustafa Sand called him an “oil whale” and “the main provider of money to parties.”…Then al-Zaidi did the part that matters. He stood up a council, named himself its chair, and gave it the power to send a corruption file straight to a judge…This one action just showed you what Iraq is now capable of. :Reset Intelligence
