Iraq\u2019s Supreme Judicial Council on Tuesday denied reports claiming that 65 visits were recorded for detained former Deputy Oil Minister Adnan Al-Jumaili, calling the information inaccurate and not based on any official source.<\/p>\n
The denial comes as authorities announced new developments in the corruption case, including the seizure of large sums of money and additional arrests.<\/p>\n
In an official statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the Supreme Judicial Council said that reports alleging it had monitored \u201c65 visits\u201d to Al-Jumaili by officials, ministers, lawmakers, militia leaders, and business figures were \u201cincorrect and unrelated to the judiciary.\u201d<\/p>\n
The council emphasized that its only official source of information is its media center, urging reliance on verified statements rather than unconfirmed reports circulating in media outlets.<\/p>\n
In a separate statement, the judiciary announced the seizure of more than 67 billion Iraqi dinars and 1 million US dollars as part of ongoing investigations into the case.<\/p>\n
Authorities said that the funds were discovered in multiple locations:<\/p>\n
– Hidden inside private residences<\/p>\n
– Buried underground at a depth of four meters<\/p>\n
– Recovered using specialized excavation equipment<\/p>\n
With these latest findings, the total amount of seized funds in the case has exceeded:<\/p>\n
– 98 billion Iraqi dinars<\/p>\n
– 11 million US dollars<\/p>\n
The investigation also led to the arrest of former Salahuddin governor and current health director Raed Al-Jubouri, based on confessions made by Al-Jumaili during interrogation.<\/p>\n
Officials indicated that the case continues to expand, with more individuals potentially implicated as investigations progress.<\/p>\n
The judiciary confirmed that investigations are ongoing to track financial proceeds linked to \u201cmismanagement and waste in projects\u201d connected to the accused and other parties involved.<\/p>\n
These actions reflect broader Iraqi efforts to combat corruption and recover public funds.<\/p>\n
