Iraq Urges US, UK to Extradite Officials Involved in ‘Heist of the Century
Interpol red notices have been issued for members of former Iraqi prime minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi’s cabinet who hold US and UK citizenship
The accused men are believed to be living abroad, and Hanoun called on the US and UK to “arrest them and return them to Iraq” while saying, “The issue of theft from the tax secretariats will not die.”
Hanoun said the issue of the theft of tax deposits is “the largest corruption case discovered to date,” considering it “a crime of corruption mixed with treason.”
Hanoun confirmed the commission was in the final stages of detaining additional former Iraqi officials accused of participation in stealing tax funds, including the former director of the Commercial Bank of Iraq, Hamdiya al-Jaf, former director general in the Ministry of Health, Nawras Abdel Razzaq, and former director of the municipality of Hilla, Mohammad Hadi.
