Iraqi authorities recovered $14.5 million linked to fraud involving the manipulation of deposit statements at Iraqi Airways.
Prime Minister Ali Al Zaidi's anti-corruption campaign has resulted in 47 politicians, MPs and senior officials being detained in Green Zone raids.
Seized assets include cash, gold, properties and vehicles, with $11 million recovered from the Deputy Oil Minister for Distribution Affairs alone.
The campaign was triggered by confessions from a former deputy oil minister arrested in late May over alleged graft in refinery contracts.
