Can you confirm if it is true, and do you have more ground info on it, your input on it will be highly appreciated as it concern a lot of people involve with Warka bank.
The Iraqi Supreme High Court is not an independent body at all. So I would be very suspicious indeed of this verdict in favour of Warka.
If the verdict blames the old administration of the ministry of finance and the central bank, then the Supreme High Court's decision is a political one.
Simply because it was a known fact that the previous administration of the ministry of finance and CBI were not in good terms with Al-Maliki.
Either way...Political or not the ruling is done and Warka has been set free...It will be interesting to see how this plays out....So people like this some hate the fact it has happen cause they didn't take advantage of the free shares....Some that took the risk are over due for BIG PAY DAY.....
poke...just how does one NOT take advantage of free shares, after all, they are free.
Please refer to CBI's website for more information (Arabic version). CBI denies these news and confirms that Warka is still under its custody.
Can anyone advise what is the next step for those people who have deposit with the bank. Is there any chance that we could get our money back. It is going to be three years soon since the depositor's money has been frozen with bank, could the Bank give us some hints about what the bank will be doing in the near future.
