The Federal Commission of Integrity has announced the preparation of draft international memorandums of understanding aimed at recovering smuggled funds and individuals wanted in corruption cases. Authorities confirmed a disparity in international cooperation on this matter; while some nations exhibit
positive collaboration, others remain uncooperative due to internal legal constraints or various economic and humanitarian reasons that may grant fugitives asylum. In response, the Iraqi government is actively pursuing diplomatic negotiations and alternative mechanisms to foster bilateral cooperation. These measures
complement ongoing governmental efforts to prosecute corrupt officials, which include signing cooperation agreements with Interpol to secure direct access to databases of wanted persons and to expand the scope of international criminal investigations.
