The son of the Speaker of Parliament is leading the smuggling of gasoline to the northern provinces.
An official source in Anbar province revealed on Friday that new smuggling operations of improved gasoline were recorded from the western cities of the province towards the northern provinces, with the support and coordination of the son of a prominent government official and a leader in the Progress Party headed by Mohammed al-Halbousi.
The source told Al-Maalomah News Agency that “the western regions witnessed smuggling operations of improved gasoline towards the northern governorates with high-level support and coordination by the son of the Speaker of Parliament, Hebat Al-Halbousi, through the sale of quotas of dozens of private fuel filling stations, most of which are fictitious.”
He added that “government and private fuel filling stations in Anbar cities have stopped supplying improved gasoline under the pretext of insufficient supplies from Baghdad, while smuggling operations are carried out by smugglers supported by the Progress Party and political parties in the Kurdistan Region.”
He indicated that “the son of the Speaker of Parliament is in charge of managing the smuggling of premium and regular gasoline, as well as black and white oil, through complex routes to the northern provinces.”
