The Romanian authorities have recently expelled an Iraqi diplomat, Muhammad Abdal-Razzaq, because he was involved in "activities that are incompatible with his diplomatic status," reported RF/ERL quoting the Romanian newspaper "Ziua" on 7 December. He served as consul.
Sources in Bucharest have revealed that the information has been verified by the SRI (Romanian Intelligence Service) and SIE (Foreign Intelligence Service) in cooperation with similar Western intelligence services. "Ziua" further reports that, according to Romanian secret services, there are hundreds of "ghost" firms through which millions of dollars have been sent out of Romania. Secret service experts suspect that a substantial part of these funds have been transferred to the bank accounts of organizations that support extremism and terrorism. (albawaba.com)
