He stole 2.5 billion dollars.. The first accused of stealing the century is in the hands of justice, so what do Iraqis doubt?

This story, which was monitored by the "Shabakat" program, began in its episode on 10/26/2022, after Iraqi MP Mustafa Jabbar Sanad published a tweet in which he said, "The first accused of withdrawing the tax trust funds, Nour Zuhair Jassim, will leave Baghdad Airport to Istanbul Airport after an hour." From now, at 6:30 pm, exactly at the time of take-off, and on a private plane "GLEX".

Immediately after the tweet was published, the security forces stormed the runway of Baghdad airport before the plane took off with the desired thing.

A video clip was spread on social media of what is said to be the moment of the arrest of a businessman called "Noor Zuhair Jassim", who almost fled to Istanbul.

He was imprisoned as the first accused in the case known in Iraq as "Theft of the Century".

After the news spread, the Iraqis began talking about pressures to release him, before the Ministry of Interior responded with a post on its Facebook page in which it said, "The Ministry of Interior is surprised by the allegations that there is pressure on the Minister of Interior to release this accused, and confirms that there is no pressure, not from governmental or partisan agencies." or political.”

It should be noted that Nour is not the only one involved. The Iraqi judiciary announced the involvement of 5 Iraqi companies in the theft of public funds.

The court announced that it had summoned dozens of government officials working in the Ministry of Finance, and former deputies, on charges of complicity in this case.

Commenting on the arrest of Noor Muzaffar, Baha Jassim Baha Khalil asked, "The accused, Noor Zuhair Al-Mudhaffar, is in the grip of justice, but when will the rest of the whales of corruption be arrested?"

While Muhammad Al-Fahd called for the publication of Nour Muzaffar's confessions and the prosecution of the rest of the accused, he wrote, "The important thing now is for you to hear this person's confessions and connections publicly. The efforts that bode well have been blessed and we are waiting for more without fear or courtesy."

Yasser Al-Jubouri is looking for the rest of the defendants, and he said, "Hass Nour Zuhair been in custody, Zain and the rest? Those involved in the theft of the century and where are they? Why wouldn't Al-Ghanimi arrest them?

Alia Amer believes that what happened is a political play, and she tweeted, "Perhaps the case of Nour Zuhair's arrest is a political play. It is not logical and logical for an accused to flee 3.7 trillion dinars through Baghdad airport and be arrested so easily, while there are dozens of available ways to escape outside Iraq."

In turn, Rafah Al-Saad raised several questions about the trial of the accused, the return of the money and the arrest of the rest of the accused. She wrote, "Will his fate be the same as others? He shares the stolen goods with the corrupt so that they allow him to escape out of Iraq? His trial?
