How it Worked

How Saddam used oil vouchers to bribe his mates in the West

How It Worked: The Voucher Transactions Method

In a subsequent article, Al-Mada provides details on the allocation and sale of oil vouchers. In general, the vouchers were given either as gifts or as payment for goods imported into Iraq in violation of the U.N. sanctions.

The voucher holder would normally tender the voucher to any one of the specialized companies operating in the United Arab Emirates for a commission which initially ranged from $0.25 to $0.30 per barrel, though it may have declined in later years to as little as $0.10 or even $0.05 per barrel because of oil surplus on the market.(Al-Mada, Baghdad 7 February 2004.)

In other words, a voucher for 1 million barrels would have translated into a quick profit of $250,000-300,000 on the high side and $50,000-100,000 on the low side � all paid in cash. According to Al-Mada, Jordan will seek to tax the illicit profits of citizens who benefited from the sale of the vouchers.

One of the common arguments by recipients of vouchers was that the vouchers paid for goods provided in the framework of the U.N.-administered Oil for Food program. However, under the Memorandum of Understanding governing the program, oil allocations were intended for "end users," meaning those with refineries. Most of the voucher recipients would be considered "non-end users."

Moreover, if vouchers were used to pay for goods, it would suggest that these were not authorized by the program and should be considered illicit since all contracts approved by the U.N. were reimbursed from the trust account where the oil revenues were kept, at a French bank, at Iraq's insistence.

According to the United Nations: "The oil buyer had to pay the price approved by the Security Council Sanctions Committee into a U.N. escrow account, and the U.N. had to verify that the goods purchased by Iraq were indeed those allowed under the program.

But the U.N. had no way of knowing what other transactions might be going on directly between the Iraqi government and the buyers and sellers"(A letter to the Wall Street Journal, 18 February 2004).

Arthur Millholland, CEO of the Calgary-based Oilexco(9.6 million barrels), denied he had received vouchers and criticized MEMRI, which he claimed "was critical of the recent U.S.-led war with Iraq and participated in the UN's Oil for Food program to help Iraqi children [sic]." "Obviously," he hinted, MEMRI "has some motives." [14]

MEMRI: Egyptian Recipients

Inquiry and Analysis Series - No. 164

Egypt

Abd Al-Adhim Manaf (6 million barrels), the owner and editor of The Voice of the Arabs (Sawt Al-Arab), and a member of parliament, offered to show evidence that he had been offered oil vouchers, but had refused them. [15]

Muhammad Shatta (14 million barrels) maintained that he served as an agent for two international petroleum companies and that all his transactions were under the Oil for Food Program. He said there was small-scale smuggling of oil of 3000 barrels at a time by small merchants, but did not explain how the smuggling was related to the vouchers he received.

Khaled Abd Al-Nasser, the son of the late Egyptian president Gamal Abd Al-Nasser, (16.5 million barrels), could not be reached by the Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Youssef because all his phones "were out of order." However, the weekly cites a number of instances of Abd Al-Nasser's involvement in activities for solidarity with Iraq.

Egyptian MP Imad Al-Gilda (14 million barrels) denied receiving any vouchers. Roz Al-Youssefreported that there were rumors before the war that Al-Gilda was "part of the Iraqi propaganda machine."

Mahmoud Mahdi Al-Ma'sarawi (7 million barrels) attributes the inclusion of his and other names on the list to their stand against U.S. actions in Iraq.

Muhammad Hilmi (4.5 million barrels), who named his son Saddam, said he would be proud if his son would be another Saddam Hussein. [16] Otherwise, he denied the allegation.

It is noteworthy that Egyptian activist Mamdouh El-Sheikh filed suit in May 2003 against several Egyptian politicians and journalists, accusing them of accepting bribes from Saddam which violated Egyptian law. [17]

The UN Bribery Scandal

Tasty Manatees: The U.N. Bribery Scandal.

Recently, the Wall Street Journal carried a piece by Therese Raphael (Saddam's Global Payroll) that explained the serious allegations of bribery that the Iraqis are making against the head of the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food program. The Oil-for-Food program was set up to allow Saddam Hussein to sell limited amounts of oil to pay for humanitarian assistance to his people, who were cut off from oil proceeds due to Saddam's intransigence. The new Iraqi government has picked up on documents from the state ministry of oil which purportedly name almost 300 world leaders as having accepted bribes from Saddam in the form of sales of oil well below the market price.

Now, it is becoming clear that if the documents recently unearthed are accurate, the U.N. Assistant Secretary General in charge of the Oil-for-Food program, Benon Sevan, received 11.5 million barrels of oil at a significantly discounted price. At an average profit of up to 50 cents per barrel, this payment would amount to more than $5 million.

Sevan, of course, denies having accepted these bribes. And the U.N. is issuing its own denials as to the charges that the U.N. program was used as a conduit for Saddam’s bribery. In Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, the U.N.'s press flack placed a letter-to-the-editor denying the illicit payments, and offered a defense which basically amounts to; (1) Sevan claims he didn't accept the bribes, although we're not going to stand behind him on it, and (2) the U.N. Oil-for-Food program was clean. The U.N.'s non-denial denials are laughable, and I think the letter demonstrates that the U.N. itself thinks it is more than possible that they have been complicit in Saddam's bribery.

Iraqi Oil Cash Funded MPs Campaigns

Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Iraq oil cash funded MPs' campaigns
Businessmen handed on money illicitly siphoned from UN deals to pressure groups run by George Galloway and Tam Dalyell

Money illicitly siphoned from the UN oil-for-food programme by Saddam Hussein was used to finance anti-sanctions campaigns run by British politicians, according to documents that have surfaced in Baghdad.

Undercover cash from oil deals went to three businessmen who in turn supported pressure groups involving the ex-Labour MP George Galloway, Labour MP Tam Dalyell, and the former Irish premier Albert Reynolds, it is alleged in documents compiled by the oil ministry, which is now under the control of the US occupation regime.

Separately, a dossier from the oil ministry in Baghdad has been handed by the British Foreign Office to Customs and Excise, which has been asked to investigate. They were also referred to the Cabinet Office because of their political sensitivity.

"The government has been given copies of certain documents [from Iraq]," a Foreign Office spokeswoman said yesterday. "They are being passed to the appropriate authorities for consideration."

Two of the three businessmen involved in UK campaigns, Burhan al-Chalabi and Riad al-Tajir, were based in Surrey; the other, Fawwaz Zureikat, a Jordanian entrepreneur, had offices in London.

Mr Chalabi and Mr Zureikat gave money to the Mariam Appeal, run by Mr Galloway, the MP confirmed. Mr Tahir said he ran another anti-sanctions campaign called Friendship Across Borders, which had Mr Dalyell as its official patron and organised visits to Baghdad by supportive politicians.

The three businessmen are alleged to have received money from Saddam via oil allocations. They sold the oil rights on at a profit of more than $1m (about £530,000), in an exploitation by Saddam of loopholes in the UN's then oil-for-food programme.

Mr Tahir agrees he profited from the oil deals. Mr Chalabi refuses to comment. Mr Zureikat confirmed to Agence France Presse in Jordan last week that he had made the oil deals.

Benon Sevan Denial

SignOnSanDiego.com > In Iraq -- U.N. oil-for-food chief denies receiving Saddam bribes
The head of the U.N. oil-for-food program denied Tuesday that he ever took bribes from Saddam Hussein's government.
Sevan, a veteran U.N. diplomat from Cyprus, said in a statement Tuesday "there is absolutely no substance to the allegations ... that I had received oil or oil moneys from the former Iraqi regime."

Iraq's U.S.-appointed Governing Council has asked the Oil Ministry to investigate the allegations. According to Al-Mada, the bulk of the bribes went to Russian firms as part of Saddam's bid to maintain good ties with the Kremlin, which argued heartily against the U.S.-led invasion.

Sevan's satatement said "those making the allegations should come forward and provide the necessary documentary evidence" and present it to the U.N. Office of Internal Oversight Services.

U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard, who read Sevan's statement, said the United Nations does not plan to launch an investigation because "it's really not clear to us even what the allegations are."

"First of all, this oil-for-food program has been audited to death. Second, we have a lot of personal confidence in Benon Sevan's integrity," he said.

Saddam's Global Payroll

OpinionJournal - Extra
On Dec. 5, during a trip to Baghdad, Claude Hankes-Drielsma faxed an urgent letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Mr. Drielsma, the U.K. Chairman of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, had recently been appointed to advise the Iraqi Governing Council. What he saw in Baghdad left him shocked. "As a result of my findings here, combined with earlier information," he wrote, "I most strongly urge the U.N. to consider appointing an independent commission to review and investigate the 'Oil for Food Programme.' Failure to do so might bring into question the U.N.'s credibility and the public's perception of it. . . . My belief is that serious transgressions have taken place and may still be taking place."

Just how serious these transgressions were became clear late last month, when the Iraqi daily Al Mada published a partial list of names, compiled by Iraq's oil ministry, of those whom Saddam Hussein rewarded with allocations of Iraqi oil. Mr. Hankes-Drielsma, who says he was among the first to see the list in early December, says it is based on numerous contracts and other detailed documents and was compiled at the request of the Iraqi Governing Council.

The list, a copy of which has been seen by the Journal's editorial page, is in spreadsheet format and details (in Arabic) individuals, companies and organizations, grouped by country, who oil ministry and Governing Council officials believe received vouchers from the Iraqi regime for the purchase of oil under the oil-for-food program. Mr. Hankes-Drielsma said the recipients would have been given allocations at below-market prices and then been able to pocket the difference when a middleman sold the oil on to a refinery; 13 time periods are designated and with indications of how much crude, in millions of barrels, each recipient allegedly received.

The list reads like an official registry of Friends of Saddam across some 50 countries. It's clear where his best, best friends were. There are 11 entries under France (totaling 150.8 million barrels of crude), 14 names under Syria (totaling 116.9 million barrels) and four pages detailing Russian recipients, with voucher allocations of over one billion barrels. Many of the names, transliterated phonetically from Arabic, are not well-known or are difficult to identify from the information given. Others stand out. There's George Galloway, the Saddam-supporting British MP recently expelled from the Labour Party, who has always denied receiving any form of payment from Saddam. Other notables include Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri (also listed separately as the "daughter of President Sukarno"), the PLO, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Russian Orthodox Church, the "director of the Russian President's office" and former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua. Some--including Mr. Pasqua, the Russian Church and Ms. Megawati--have denied receiving anything from Saddam. Patrick Maugein, a close friend of Jacques Chirac and head of Soco International oil company, says his dealings were all within "the framework of the oil-for-food program and there was nothing illegal about it."

The list's breadth, and the difficulty in reading and interpreting it, has slowed its exposure. There's also the question of authentication. Mr. Hankes-Drielsma (who is not an Arabic speaker) is convinced it is authentic and will be followed by more detailed evidence as the Iraqi oil ministry and Governing Council conduct further investigations. "I've seen the documents that have satisfied me beyond any doubt that we're dealing with a genuine situation," he told me.

troubled waters for Megawati

Asia Times - News and analysis from throughout Southeast Asia
JAKARTA - Reports in an Iraqi newspaper allege that Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri is one of several leading international figures who received money from a political slush fund aimed at buying political support for the tyrannical Saddam Hussein regime.

Megawati has yet to respond to the allegations, though a palace spokesman has confirmed she is aware of them. The president appeared on a list of more than 270 public figures, politicians, companies and organizations around the world accused of receiving bribes in the form of commissions from sales of Saddam's oil.
...
Experts say none of those involved would have actually received oil, but instead, the right to buy the oil at a discounted price, which could be resold to a legitimate broker or oil company at an average profit of around 50 US cents a barrel. Megawati, the documents allegedly show, received vouchers for 8 million barrels of oil.

Presidential candidate and People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) Speaker Amien Rais is also named on the list. Rais at first refused to comment but when asked by Agence France-Presse on Wednesday confessed to being "flabbergasted ... Why am I included in the list out of the blue? It's big slander," Rais was quoted as saying. The report says Rais received 4 million barrels of oil.

Yet another highly placed member of the Jakarta elite, Arifin Panigoro, deputy chairman of Megawati's Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan), was quoted as saying this week that Megawati and the Ba'ath Party in Iraq had a close relationship. "It was normal. They were very close to Megawati," the tycoon said.

Panigoro admitted that his oil company Medco had bought oil from Iraq but said it was "pure business" and was done with UN permission. "The oil purchase from Iraq had nothing to do with President Megawati," he was quoted as saying.

The relationship between Indonesia and Iraq goes back a long way. International trade sanctions were enforced on Iraq after its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Prior to the ensuing 1991 Gulf War, Jakarta had signed a memorandum of understanding for a counter-trade deal with Baghdad through which Indonesia would import 30,000 barrels of oil a day from Iraq in exchange for commodities such as textiles, timber, tin and crude palm oil. A similar deal is now being implemented with Libya. But the Iraqi agreement was frozen after the Gulf War.

Abd Al-Majid Al-Attar

Mr. Attar (Abdulmajid Attar)¹ is an Algerian oil executive. From 1996 to 2000, he was the main negotiator with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil as a director of international projects and later the chairman and CEO of the Algerian Sonatrach company.

Within days of the publication of the list of 270 by Al-Mada, Mr. Attar published this denial in the London-based Arabic newspaper, Al-Hayat.

Personally, I oppose every Iraqi side [ed. "I deny every Iraqi partisan"] that is trying to assert that Saddam offered oil coupons. As for the list, every individual or company mentioned has its own credibility, and hence, I should state the following information:

From 1996 to 2000, I was the main negotiator with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil as a director of international projects and later the chairman and CEO of the Algerian Sonatrach company. I was conducting negotiations of important contracts related to developing the Tuba oilfield.

The negotiations were held with the biggest international oil companies and it was a very important project for Sonatrach. In addition, some American companies were encouraging us to negotiate by presenting offers to participate in the project after lifting the sanctions.

All during these years of negotiations, and within the oil-for-food program, Sonatrach participated in marketing a part of the Iraqi oil. Hence, we were allocated an oil share like the other oil companies, including the American ones through Sonatrach's branch in London, under the supervision of the UN, and not directly with Iraqis.

This might be the reason why we were called to organize humanitarian activities in the favor of the Iraqi people and we sent food, medical equipment and medicines. In addition, we supervised the training of around 60 Iraqi oil engineers in Algeria, opened an office in Baghdad and contributed to the organization of trips for the companies' chairmen in order to follow the implementation of the oil-for-food program.

What happened after 2000?

Personally, I was not at Sonatrach at the time, for I was the chairman of a group of production companies. We kept on carrying out economic activities in Iraq by sending humanitarian aids and organizing trips. Thus, we were able, until 2000, to preserve Algerian presence in the Iraqi market, mostly thanks to the state of Algeria.

In 2000, it became difficult to sign contracts and even Sonatrach withdrew from the Iraqi market and froze its negotiations. However, Algeria held official contacts with the Iraqi side in order to preserve the tight relations between both countries. It suggested solutions and I personally introduced other companies to the Iraqi market after the withdrawal of Sonatrach. However, neither these companies nor myself received presents from Saddam. All transactions were handled by the UN. It should be mentioned that a large share of the revenues was allocated to humanitarian aid in Iraq.

Hence, one cannot regret humanitarian aids he contributed to, because they were meant to serve the Iraqi people and not Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi president gave us no gifts but some ministers used to consider us a priority in the market.
