Basil Al Jarah, a fixer for Monaco-based Unaoil, was central to a vast bribery network influencing Iraqi officials to secure contracts for multinational companies. Unaoil paid bribes to win billions in government contracts, exploiting Iraq's oil wealth and undermining US promises of fair wealth distribution post-Saddam Hussein. The scandal was exposed through leaked emails revealing routine bribes to officials, implicating companies like Rolls-Royce, Petrofac, and Weatherford. High-level Iraqi officials, including deputy prime minister Hussain al-Shahristani and oil minister Kareem Luaibi, were also involved. Despite strict anti-bribery laws in the West, the corruption went largely unchecked. The revelations have not led to accountability for Unaoil's operations, which continue to thrive amidst Iraq's instability.
