2 hours ago

The Integrity Commission announced on Thursday the recovery of funds belonging to the former regime deposited in Lebanese banks.

“The technical team supported the recovery of Iraqi funds from the recovery of nearly half a million US dollars deposited in the account of the director of a military manufacturing company of the former regime and his wife in one of the Lebanese banks,” the recovery department of the Integrity Commission said in a statement.

“The team’s follow-up, in cooperation with the Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs, of the documents and legal evidence supporting the file led to the transfer of their accounts to the Iraq account in the Development Fund for Iraq.”

“The director of the company is covered by the Security Council resolutions (1483 and 1518of 2003). The first resolution obligates member states that have funds, other financial assets or economic resources removed from Iraq by freezing them and transferring them to the Development Fund for Iraq.”

The Integrity Commission announced in early October that the technical team supported the recovery of Iraq’s funds from the recovery of funds belonging to the dissolved military industrialization of the era of the former regime was deposited in a bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
