Case filed Oct 17, 2017, in the US District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C. on behalf of more than 100 Americans, including veterans, their family members, and the survivors of U.S. military and civilian personnel injured or killed in Jaysh al-Mahdi attacks
It alleges that the defendants have paid bribes as a matter of course in Iraq since the days of Saddam, and that they continued to do so after Saddam was overthrown and Jaysh al-Mahdi terrorists seized the Iraqi Health Ministry.
Sparacino PLLC believes "that each defendant paid bribes to Jaysh al-Mahdi terrorists who controlled the Iraqi Health Ministry in numerous ways, including but not limited to, cash bribes known in Iraq as “commissions,”
“free goods” bribes structured to make it easier for the terrorists to resell those goods for cash on the black market, and several other corrupt schemes several defendants have historically pursued in Iraq, the Middle East and elsewhere."
