On Wednesday (December 1, 2020), legal expert Tariq Harb revealed the most prominent case in which Key Card Director Bahaa Abdel Hussein is accused, while indicating that the decision to seize his movable and immovable assets is legal.

“The case of the Qi Card manager is still being considered in the investigative court, and in accordance with the provisions of the Iraqi Code of Criminal Procedure, the investigating judge may issue a decision to seize the money of the unconvicted accused before ruling and prevent him from traveling, even if the evidence is incomplete and even if it is not issued.” A ruling was issued against him,” indicating that “this measure is called precautionary, with the intention of preventing the smuggling of the accused’s money. If the charge is proven, it will be turned into an executive one, and if it is not proven, the seizure decision will be cancelled.”

Harb confirmed that "the matter is legal according to the Iraqi Code of Criminal Procedure," pointing out that "the charges brought against the key card manager are many, and they are part of the complex retirement case with its parties, money and quantity, employees and civilians, which includes theft, forgery, abuse of authority, and administrative and financial corruption."

He continued, "The issue does not depend on one charge," explaining that "the matter is subject to the Criminal Court, which may cancel the charges or cancel the sentence against him."

The Central Bank of Iraq issued a decision to seize the movable and immovable funds of the director of the Qi Card company, his family, and those close to him.

It is noteworthy that, on Thursday (September 17, 2020), a security force arrested Bahaa Abdul Hussein Abdul Hadi, director of Qi Card, at Baghdad International Airport while he was trying to escape outside Iraq .
