US embassy cable - 05RABAT2173

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 October 17, EconCouns met with Moroccan Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs Chief of Juridical Affairs and Treaties 
Azzouz Aboulkouroum regarding the recovery of Iraqi assets in 
Morocco.  In June and July Econoffs had provided Aboulkouroum 
with very specific account information for groups and 
individuals identified under UNSCR 1483.  Aboulkouroum 
confirmed that he had "relaunched" an interagency effort to 
resolve any outstanding Iraqi asset issues, sharing the 
information with, inter alia, the Ministries of Finance, 
Interior, and Justice, and the central bank.  He was awaiting 
final definitive reports from these Moroccan government 
entities before preparing a comprehensive response for the 
Embassy.
