Legal expert: Restoring relations contributes to recovering funds smuggled from Iraq and held by Swiss authorities

9/3/2024

Legal expert, Counselor Salem Hawas, confirmed that the reopening of Switzerland's embassy in Baghdad is a door of international public law, which emphasizes the necessity of restoring diplomacy after its interruption, on the one hand, and contributing to reviewing the agreements on the extradition of funds and the extradition of fugitive criminals.

Hawas said in a statement: "The reopening of Switzerland's embassy in Baghdad, after an interruption and closure that lasted more than 33 years due to the Gulf War in 1991, is a positive indicator. These relations were supposed to be restored since the beginning of the fall of the regime, not after 21 years have passed, because it is a period of time that has missed the opportunity for Iraq, Iraqis, and the Iraqi judiciary to prevent the prosecution of criminals and public funds detained in Switzerland."

Hawass explained: "The Swiss Federal Council certainly aims, through this and through the reopening of the embassy, ​​to strengthen bilateral relations with Iraq and consolidate cooperation in the fields of justice, economic law, security and immigration. Therefore, these important relations must be invested in the judicial, legal, constitutional and economic levels and resolve the file of smuggled funds from Iraqis and held by the Swiss authorities for more than 33 years."

Hawass explained, "What confirms the good intentions of the Swiss side is the delivery of three smuggled artifacts dating back to the Assyrian civilization, which are the statue of the Assyrian sun god, and two murals dating back to the Assyrian era before Christ," which in our estimation confirms good intentions, in addition to the delivery of ancient artifacts dating back to the legal Hammurabi Stele, which the Iraqi government received from Switzerland two years ago. This ensures the credibility of legal, judicial and constitutional dealings and the principle of reciprocity.

  Walkingstick 

  They got stability and security. Sudani has been bragging about it...Lift the three zeros has to do with the value, then not with the value, back and forth, back and forth, it has to do with the value and then, no it doesn't have to do with the value.  The articles are contradicting. 

 They are lies.  They are misleading with a purpose.  

 Walkingstick  

Article: "Two conditions to achieve it .. Al-Sudani's advisor rules out removing 3 zeros from the currency"

  These articles, this misleading, is intentional right now...Contradicting statements are found throughout all of these statements, all of these articles...The 25 note has to become a 25k note? 

 There isn't even a 25 note...When did Iraq last have a 25 note?  Never.

[Iraqi bank friend Aki update] 

Question:  You're asking us why we are not talking to you about these [lower note] commercials.  Can you tell us more about them? 

 AKI:  Yes, they are coming out.  This is the media campaign we told you about.  It's getting faster and faster and louder and louder.  

The purpose is to show the citizens the new lower notes and more information. 

 These commercials are coming out at any time now...Nothing is in the way to block this next step.  It is a massive media campaign.  

[[Iraqi bank friend Aki update]

New York is to remove the red tape that the United Nations is still holding on the banks of Iraq that are not participating in the monetary reform.  

These sanctioned banks may stay sanctioned or be shut down completely. 

 It really doesn't matter to the monetary reform process but this is something that is needed to be done.

 GINGER

 Anonymous Friend - (THIS INFORMATION IS COMING STRAIGHT FROM FAMILY INSIDE IRAQ ) ⬇️

➡️ A lot of Iraqis have set eyes on the lower denoms but not in the hands of most as yet...

💢Ginger: Is it the new lower denominationss, per our conversation last week, or possibly the older notes just being circulated which we shared with GLL? 

Are they setting eyes on them in the TV educational updates or something different? 

Just trying to better understand.

 I'm just thinking how can they be "seeing them" while not "touching" them in case we're asked questions?

💢Anonymous Friend: It is the new, lower denoms in page form, uncut is what has been seen..

💢Ginger: This absolutely means it's not the older notes - but the newer notes are getting primed and ready to be implemented. Very interesting!!! 9.4.24
