{Baghdad: Al Furat News} The Supreme Judicial Council announced that it will initiate the investigation of joint bank documents in the foreign currency sale window.
A statement of the judiciary media, which Al-Furat News received a copy of, stated that "the investigative court competent to combat money laundering and economic crime crimes responds to the Central Bank's request and conducts the investigation with documents and documents submitted by the participating banks in the foreign currency sale and purchase window to verify their validity and compliance with the law."
It is noteworthy that the member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Faleh Al-Sari, collected signatures to submit a request to question the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq regarding suspicions in the currency auction.
In the year 2019, the Central Bank sold $44 billion in hard currency in a currency auction, mostly intended to cover the import of materials and goods that the country needs, stabilize the price of the Iraqi dinar and prevent inflation, according to bank data.
However, as economists say, the volume of Iraqi imports reached 18 billion dollars, and they warn of "currency leakage" outside Iraq due to "corruption" in the currency auction in the country.
