- Description
- Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al Zaidi has conducted a bold anti-corruption campaign since taking office in May.
One of his first moves was to arrest the deputy oil minister for alleged embezzlement, and to seize millions of dollars in cash as part of the investigation.
Iraq’s political institutions have been plagued by allegations of bribery and kickbacks, with oil sector contracts often the targets of corruption investigations. The country has reportedly lost billions of dollars to embezzlement since the American invasion of 2003.

Data firm Kpler shows crossings tripled between June 12 and June 21.

Many ships are still anchored inside the Gulf or off the coast of Oman and the UAE, as they wait for oil and gas producers to restart facilities and begin to empty storage tanks.
