Chapter 733: Skinning and Lighting the Sky Lantern
After Idris's presidential inauguration speech, before night fell, groups of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the homes of Iraqi government personnel throughout Iraq.
In just a few hours, tens of thousands of officials in Iraq were directly arrested. Idris, who had only been playing tricks before, showed his iron-blooded demeanor for the first time.
Before Idris met Cai Ruichen, he was a strict person. There are two kinds of people he hates the most, one is white and the other is scum.
In his eyes, traitors and people who are sorry for the people of their country are all scum.
Especially after he saw the large amount of information on corrupt officials that Cai Ruichen handed over to him, he was immediately blown away.
At the beginning, he was worried that if he was too ruthless, no one would help him govern such a country. Even corrupt officials, sometimes he had to use them when the situation forced him.
But after getting Cai Ruichen's reply, he no longer had any scruples.
More than 10,000 people were sent directly to the prison, and the leading officers of each of the troops involved in the arrest were all from the Red Police Corps.
The ruthless and selfless Red Police soldiers immediately threw all the evidence in front of these corrupt officials after they captured the target. There is no need to say anything.
No country has ever arrested so many officials in just a few hours, which is absolutely unprecedented.
But Idris really did it, and almost everyone in the world shouted that Idris was crazy, and of course all of these exclamations were applause.
Many people are beginning to worry that tens of thousands of officials have been arrested, which has caused the Iraqi government structure to be riddled with holes. Is Idris planning to become a polished commander?
This problem was quickly and best resolved, and on the second day, all the vacant official positions were filled by new officials.
Overnight, Idris signed tens of thousands of appointment documents in one go, like a photocopier.
Perhaps it can be said that these appointment documents have been prepared long ago. During the arrest process, a large number of new officials have already started to take office.
Iraq changed overnight. Tens of thousands of officials were sacked, and all the middle and high-level government officials during the Hafez period were wiped out.
Only Aziz, the Minister of Commerce and Deputy Minister of Finance, was not affected. After the Minister of Finance was taken to drink tea, Aziz officially became the Minister of Finance of the Iraqi government and concurrently served as the Minister of Commerce.
Zhao Long was also promoted by Idris to the general of the Iraqi National Defense Forces and became the Minister of Defense of the new Iraqi government, but in the Red Police Corps, Zhao Long was still a lieutenant general.
This general is only effective in the Iraqi government army. After all, it is a bit inappropriate for a lieutenant general to be the Minister of Defense.
And the news of arresting tens of thousands of officials in one go spread throughout Iraq at the fastest speed.
All the Iraqi people got the news from various sources when they just woke up the next morning.
For a time, the entire Iraqi people were blown up, because all the newspapers had detailed information on tens of thousands of corrupt officials.
The former vice president of the Iraqi government was ranked first, and then the incumbent Minister of Defense Obaidi. The dense list from high to low occupied several pages of the newspaper.
Behind each name, there are photos, official positions, and how much has been embezzled.
And every newspaper today is a high first base,
Above, all the news about these corrupt officials.
What followed was the Iraqi Supreme Court, which began to sentence these corrupt officials that morning.
Because the list is too long and there are too many people, but the Supreme Court of Iraq, the president of the Supreme Court who just took office, coordinated with all the staff, took out 100% of the working time, in the whole live broadcast Under such circumstances, an order for the death penalty was announced one by one.
Keep repeating the criminal evidence of each official, and keep announcing the death penalty according to the law.
No one has the opportunity to appeal again. Although some officials showed various resistance in court, they are all floating clouds in the face of absolute strength.
On this day, batches of corrupt officials were sent here to be executed by firing squad under the protection of heavy soldiers at the execution ground in the suburbs of Baghdad.
From high to low, almost all of them were killed in a circle, 10,000 officials, in a country like Iraq, almost from the vice president to the chief officials of all levels were killed.
But no one feels sorry for these people, because all the criminal evidence has been released.
A large number of family members of these officials have also been imprisoned and will be held for trial later. Regrettably, there are still many former corrupt officials who are still at large abroad. In the current government, the relatives of most of the officials are basically abroad, spending a lot of money from these corrupt officials. happy.
For these people, Cai Ruichen will not let them go, the road has to be taken step by step, and there are some things that cannot be rushed.
As for tens of thousands of people, it will take at least two months just to go through the courtroom. After all, the death penalty is a very serious matter, and some things are absolutely not fast.
According to the Iraqi constitution, no one has the right to deprive another person of his life. When the court sentences the death penalty, it must give reasons for the death penalty, otherwise the death penalty cannot be imposed.
Therefore, for each official, the most detailed evidence must be given, and a maximum of two hundred people are tried every day, which is already a lot.
However, the Iraqis can afford to wait, because after a piece of criminal evidence, it means that a large amount of stolen money is returning to the government.
More than 10,000 corrupt officials, this is an extremely large scale, and the money corrupted is also a very large number.
When all the corruption figures were counted, many people were shocked.
Iraq's finances have always been good, and the oil deal has brought huge benefits to every official.
The amount of money embezzled by these tens of thousands of officials has reached an astonishing total of 200 billion U.S. dollars.
This is almost equivalent to the total revenue of the Iraqi government for five years, and almost all of these officials have been in office for eight years. This figure can only be said to be average.
But when this number was counted, the whole of Iraq was in a state of flux. They were all up and down, but who would have thought that those so-called parent officials were all rich in money.
