    The Parliamentary Integrity Committee revealed, today, Thursday, the details of real estate and Iraq's property abroad, and while it identified two types of it, it indicated that some of these properties were registered in the name of media interfaces and personalities.
    A member of the Integrity Committee, Taha Al-Dafai, said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Iraqi property and real estate abroad are of two types, the first is real estate belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some of it belongs to the ministries of the state, including trade, education, agriculture and state real estate, and the other belongs to the previous regime, including Can palace or Paris, etc.
    He added, "The second type of real estate was purchased during the time of the former regime and registered in the name of media fronts, intelligence figures and important Arab figures, and was used during the previous regime's various political orientations," noting that "this real estate was hidden from the state and there is no sufficient information about it."
    Al-Dafai continued, "We need great efforts to know these properties through some of the interfaces through which these properties can be accessed," noting that "many properties belonging to Iraq are located in Arab and European countries, in addition to important farms belonging to the Ministry of Commerce in Cuba and Vietnam, which are of rice, tea and tobacco, which are known and registered in the names of the ministries.
    Al-Dafai called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with other ministries, to follow up on these properties, and to dispose of them in accordance with the legal contexts followed, such as selling or investing them.
