14:44 - 07/18/2020
Legal expert Ali al-Tamimi, on Saturday, has indicated the legal mechanism for punishing politicians who cover up crimes.
Al-Tamimi said in a statement to “Al-Maalouma”, “Many politicians come out through the media and say I have files and documents against others and he does not submit them to the judiciary, and this in itself is considered a cover-up of the crime punishable by Iraqi law in articles 245, 246 and 247 of the Penal Code as well as the article 460 from him.
The person who does not report will be a partner in the crime and the partner’s punishment will be the same as the penalty for the original perpetrator in accordance with Articles 47, 48 and 49 of the Iraqi Penal Code,” noting that “promising some people to own these files is news for the public prosecution under Article 5 of the Prosecution Law The year 49 of the year 2017 ... The public prosecution can summon the person who announced it.”
He added, "A politician who has files and documents that constitute a crime can submit it to the investigation court or the public prosecutor and he can ask that there is no secret god according to Article 47 of the Criminal Procedure Law." LINK

Footforward Something happened a few days ago that I believe is being over looked. The Iraqi PM sent in the military to take control of the ports. This was done for security and to root out corruption. I think this is very telling.
Pimpy Article: "Forex Trading In Iraq" ...didn't I tell you we need this to start happening. You want to get a rate change? They have to be on the foreign currency exchange... Quote: "Our guide will help you learn more about how you can begin trading Forex in Iraq." Are they just talking about other people's currency or are they talking about the dinar? Quote: "...brokers often allow you to convert your dinars into reserve currencies like the USD or the Euro to use as a base currency from a dinar based account..." ...if they are teaching them [Iraqi citizens] how to trade on the Forex it's just a matter of time before the Iraqi dinar is there. This is good news...it's not going to be much longer until we see the Iraqi dinar on the Forex. That's what we're waiting for...
The end of the US dollar is coming quickly - are you prepared?
