The specialized detachments of the Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency for combating organized crime in Diyala Governorate carried out a qualitative operation based on precise intelligence information and intensive field follow-up, which resulted in arresting a foreign currency speculator and
dismantling an illegal financial remittance network. Security authorities reported that the operation led to arresting the suspect in flagrante delicto while conducting dollar speculation operations and harming the local market. Large sums of foreign and national currency, fake stamps, and
a mobile phone containing numerous illegal financial remittances were seized in the suspect's possession. Initial investigations indicated that the suspect confessed during the interrogation to carrying out illegal financial remittances for a network distributed in various locations, exploiting the exchange
rate difference to manipulate the national economy, and his statements were judicially ratified. In the same context, the agency confirmed the continuation of its intelligence operations to pursue all those involved in tampering with economic security and curbing illegal foreign
currency speculation operations.
