The Federal Integrity Commission announced today, Monday, the dismantling of a network consisting of four individuals impersonating official positions and exploiting this status to manipulate real estate transactions and engage in illegal investments. The commission confirmed that the Nineveh Investigation Directorate team uncovered this network involved in forging property files, manipulating, and subdividing them. More than 40 properties registered under the names of the accused and others in prominent areas of Nineveh province were seized, with seizure notices placed on several of them. The operation also resulted in the confiscation of five vehicles of various types and models in the possession of the accused, along with seizure notices on five additional vehicles. Approximately 100 million Iraqi dinars were found in a farm belonging to one of the suspects, derived from the sale of rare animal species, as well as gold jewelry linked to illicit funds. The commission stated that an official seizure report was prepared in accordance with Article 36 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law No. 39 of 2015, and the case was presented to the competent investigative judge to complete legal procedures.
