Fri. 15 Dec. TNT RayRen98:
The expected RV is now scheduled. Good news. This morning Iraq citizens were told in the next couple days. Sudani told ppl the rate is going to change in the next couple of days. I also go this from Tish she was watching in Iraqi tv. The RV was supposed to occur last night Thurs. 14 Dec.
Sudani was telling ppl this morning in a town hall type of meeting that the rate is going to change in the next couple of days. The last day the rate changed was the 20th of December. If Iraq says today is last day, 4:30 EST is the next day Iraq time ~ a few minutes past midnight. They wanted to do it at 1:00 am eastern. This is how they want it to go down. In Iraq everyone is off Monday and Tuesday so they can go vote and the budget will be released on Tuesday. All the money.
Fri. 8 Dec. TNT: It was supposed to go Thurs. night 7 Dec. Everyone was waiting on the IMF to release it. After a meeting earlier today Fri. 8 Dec, contacts said it will happen by Mon. 11 Dec. Sun. 10 Dec. is Iraq’s Victory Day, so Tony thinks it might happen then.
People that have already contacted their banks are being called in to go over the procedures for the exchange, interest rates they would pay them, debit and credit cards that will be available to them, etc. Banks are acknowledging that it is happening and that they want people to choose them.

Iraq’s Integrity Commission Recovers Over Two Billion Dinar From Corruption Cases, 25 DEC
Iraq’s Integrity Commission Recovers Over Two Billion Dinar From Corruption Cases
In a significant stride against corruption, the Federal Commission of Integrity in Iraq declared the successful recovery of over two billion Iraqi dinars (equivalent to around 1.5 million US dollars) on Sunday. These funds, retrieved from corruption cases implicating former state officials, have been reintegrated into the state treasury. The amounts symbolize a fraction of the inflated assets of the accused officials, which include embezzled tax custodial funds.
Recovered Funds and the Fight Against Corruption
The Media and Communication Office of the Integrity Commission disclosed that the recovered sums are deposited into two accounts at Al-Rafidain Bank, Defense Branch. They include 1.3 billion dinars from the bloated and illicitly gained assets of the ex-Prime Minister’s technical advisor. Furthermore, the Commission reclaimed 775 million dinars, which a detained official, the prior director of the Baghdad Governor’s office, accepted as a bribe from a foreign company in return for contract referrals.
An additional 25 million dinars were recuperated from rental income linked to properties owned by the incarcerated wife of the former Director-General of the General Tax Authority. Prior to this, the Integrity Commission had launched a campaign against illegitimate wealth accumulation and corruption across different state institutions, beginning with the tax sector.
Accounting for Recovered Funds
The Commission established accounts in Iraqi dinars and US dollars at Al-Rafidain Bank to account for the restitution of recovered funds, representing the proceeds from corruption. Despite being rich in oil wealth, Iraq continues to grapple with rampant corruption within its government institutions.
Government’s Commitment to Combating Corruption
The current administration, under the leadership of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani, is prioritizing the fight against corruption and the protection of public funds. It regularly discloses the failures of previous administrations. Iraqi officials have indicated that the tax custodian case revolves around illegal cash withdrawals from the General Tax Authority totalling approximately 2.5 billion US dollars over 2021 and 2022. This figure is substantial, considering Iraq’s consistent ranking among the most corrupt nations globally.
