Iraq judiciary seizes over $85m in corruption case

BAGHDAD: Iraq’s judiciary on Tuesday said it had seized more than $85 million in a corruption case against a recently arrested oil official, with some of the cash hidden underground. Last month, Iraqi authorities arrested deputy oil minister for refining affairs Adnan Al-Jumaili in Salaheddin province in northern Iraq. The total amount seized since Jumaili’s arrest now exceeds 98 billion dinars (equivalent to over $74 million), along with $11 million, the Supreme Judicial Council said.
