Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

On December 8, Acting Head of the Central Bank of Kuwait's
Anti-Money Laundering Unit Talal Alsayegh informed EconOff
that the Government of Kuwait has decided to transfer the $85
million in Iraq assets frozen in the Bahamas to the DFI (via
the Kuwaiti mission at the UN). Alsayegh said that the
joint Central Bank/MFA investigatory team has also determined
that additional Iraqi funds currently held in Kuwaiti banks
must be transferred, although he did not specify the exact
amounts. Post will inform the Department of the specifics as
soon as they are available.
