BAGHDAD / Obelisk: The parliamentary committee on economy and investment, on Thursday, the method of smuggling currency outside the country, while stressing that the method is legal with the knowledge of the government.

A member of the Committee, Riad al-Tamimi, in an interview with (Baghdad today) that "the process of currency smuggling began through the sale of currency through fraudulent invoices, especially since the private banks that take money from the auction sale of currency, is given the right and authority to import, and this matter Allowed to import illegal materials. "

Al-Tamimi stressed that "import is the goal of money laundering and smuggling money outside Iraq," noting that "the disaster lies that this process is legitimate according to the law, so as to escape from the money laundering department."

He continued a member of the Committee on Economy and Investment Parliament, that "there are several ways to process money laundering and smuggling, and the Iraqi government is aware of them, which is enacted by laws that protect smugglers."

The deputy member of the parliamentary committee on the follow-up to the implementation of the budget, Abdul Hadi Saadawi, said the obelisk that the currency auction outside the control of the central bank, pointing out that the bank sells 150-200 million dollars on a daily basis.

Saadawi's statement raises the file of corruption in the currency auction again, which governments have not succeeded in resolving it completely.

Al-Saadawi said in a press statement that "there are problems and irregularities recorded on the sale of currency by the Central Bank as well as the exchange rate, which is often mobile and often fixed," pointing out that "any candidate for the position of the governor to sit with the parliamentary finance to discuss These two things. "

Deputies from various blocs and components often talk about the existence of large-scale corruption in the currency auction by banks and personalities accused of money laundering.

Something from the history of the problem

The "Obelisk" has published in 2018 a document indicating an explicit violation and corruption in foreign currency sales of the Central Bank of Iraq in the auction of foreign currency sale in 2015 under a letter issued by the President of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, then, Chalabi, addressing the President of the Federal Court Calling on the judiciary to take the necessary measures and stressing that the Iraqi people, waiting for the word of the judiciary to maintain Iraq's reserves of hard currency.

According to the book that the table analysis of foreign currency sales of the Central Bank of Iraq at the auction sale of foreign currency for the day 31/5/2015, which amounted to "393,104,332" dollars, is an explicit violation of Article "50" of the Federal Budget Law of the State in 2015, which specified sales of the Central Bank Iraqi with seventy-five million dollars a day and sales for this day only amounted to five times the estimated amount specified by law.

According to the book, the government has filed a lawsuit against the Iraqi Council of Representatives on a number of paragraphs of the federal federal budget law for the year 2015, including the paragraph we referred to above.The government has frozen the implementation of these paragraphs without right pending the decision of the court, although the law is in force and duty to implement.

Efforts have been made to uncover the smuggling of billions of dollars out of the country through mostly illusory financial companies and new money-changers who drained these billions from the state treasury and the people's livelihood, as well as issues related to so-called "reluctant projects", projects that have been spent billions and hundreds of millions of dollars.

He succeeded the late Iraqi Chalabi in the collection of hundreds of documents prepared by a report to the Commission and others, including the Presidency of the Council of Representatives and the Prime Minister, and published "Obelisk" in time, details about them.

Chalabi blamed the fallout of the country's financial structure on "market" gangs that controlled the market price and said the economic collapse was caused by the loss of about $ 312 billion between 2006 and 2014.

The issue of corruption in the currency auction continues to mislead the economic and political scene as well because the banks that acquire the auction are linked to political parties through which they finance their parties and return them to financial profit at the expense of the country's economy.
