In a speech on corruption in Iraq, he said, “The law on recovering the proceeds of corruption includes practical, deterrent, proactive measures, and includes subsequent steps to recover stolen money.”

He added, “The law to recover the proceeds of corruption also includes support for financial and supervisory institutions and activating their tools.”
