The recovery ledger
Documented figures only.
IQD 182.7 billion returned (Nov 2022). Press record
USD 125 million displayed as first tranche (Nov 2022).
Nour Zuhair admitted receiving IQD 1.618 trillion per court reporting.
Everything else: unrecovered. No official comprehensive recovery statement since. The Cleary Gottlieb tracing assignment (10 Oct 2022) was not pursued by the incoming government. Testimony
Those who signed, cleared, protected and profited were bailed, amnestied, ignored or never touched. Those who exposed the theft were removed, charged, and driven abroad. The tracker exists so this asymmetry remains documented, current, and impossible to forget. When an ethical prosecution becomes possible in Iraq, this page is its file.
The 2024 judicial crisis
Case files reportedly inaccessible with Judge Diaa Jaafar; public conflict between the judiciary and Integrity Commission head Haider Hanoun; "big names" reported vanished after bail; the judge who bailed the principal also handled — and dropped — the case against the former minister. Press recordTestimony
The US dimension
From November 2022 the advisor briefed senior US officials with the evidence. Testimony Subsequently: the Federal Reserve/Treasury restricted dozens of Iraqi banks from dollar transactions; K2 Integrity was engaged to vet CBI transfers; financier Ali Ghulam's three banks were barred and Ghulam later sanctioned — he contests the sanctions from London. The direct link between these banks and the heist proceeds is this investigation's assessment; the sanctions record is documented. Press recordTestimony
