Iraq's Public Prosecution has opened a judicial investigation into the suspected disappearance of $140 billion in state revenues, following a formal complaint filed by a member of parliament's Legal Committee.
According to official documents obtained by Shafaq News, lawmaker Mohammed Jasim al-Khafaji submitted the complaint on June 27 to the head of the Public Prosecution, requesting a formal investigation based on recorded statements by former Finance Ministry Undersecretary Masoud Haider, in which he said he did not know how $140 billion in Iraqi revenues had been spent over three years.
