France Impedes Transfer of Saddam's 23 Million Euros



The Iraqi government has asked France to transfer Saddam Hussein’s frozen assets in Banque du France in the amount of 23.48 million euros in keeping with Security Council resolution 1483 from 2003. An Iraqi diplomat said France is the only country which has failed to unfreeze Saddam’s assets in its banks and criticized the government of former president Jacques Chirac for mishandling this matter.
