The Attorney general Identifies 18 Officials Wanted for Graft; 9 Flee the Country, Face Charges in Absentia

Mogadishu – The Attorney general of Somalia, Suleiman Mohamed Mahmoud, held a press briefing today in which he exposed a list of 18 government officials involved in financial crimes and corruption. Startlingly, it was revealed that nine of the accused individuals have managed to escape the country, leaving behind a trail of alleged embezzlement and illicit practices.

The list, compiled by the Attorney general , includes the names of the responsible and corrupt officials:

  1. Abdullahi Mohamed Ali – General Director, Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (06-08-2020).
  2. Mohamed Adde Mukhtar – Former General Director, Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (2015-2020).
  3. Abdullahi Mohamed Osoble – Director, Foreign Relations Office.
  4. Omar Maalin Kutiin – Deputy Director, Foreign Relations Office.
  5. Saadir Hassan Abdi Nur – Head of Visa Extension Department, Foreign Relations Office.
  6. Adan Mohamed Abdi – Visa Services Manager, Foreign Relations Office.
  7. Abubakar Mohamed Ali – head of airport inland revenue.
  8. Abdiqadir Abdi Soodaal (Abtidoon) – accountant Foreign Relations Department, Airports.
  9. Mohamed Adan Abdullahi – central bank Manager of airport division, Adan Adde Airport.

The following individuals are currently absent from the country and will face charges in absentia:

  1. Abdirahman Abdi Karin Ibrahim – Head of Legal and Employee Relations Department, Foreign Relations Office.
  2. Abdullahi Dahir Weheliye – Cashier, Aadan Cadde Airport.
  3. Abdiwahid Muhsin Ibrahim – Employee, Foreign Relations Office.
  4. Muhiyadiin Hassan Julus (Saabey) – Director of inland Revenue.
  5. Mohamed Idris Ahmed – Head of indirect tax, Ministry of Finance.
  6. Mohamed Adan Jimale (Koofi) – Former Director of immigration
  7. Abdiqadir Cilmi Ali – Current director of Immigration.
  8. Mohamed Ali Adle – Former Director, Foreign Relations Office.
  9. Abubakar Hassan Aadan – Former Head of Document Verification, Visa Extension Department, Foreign Relations Office.

These individuals stand accused of crimes such as forgery, theft, corruption, and embezzlement of public funds. Their actions have caused significant harm to society and demonstrated a complete disregard for their responsibilities while exploiting their positions within the government.

The exposure of this list serves as a stark reminder that no individual, regardless of their position, is above the law. As Somalia continues its path towards rebuilding and strengthening its institutions, eradicating corruption remains crucial priority for the nation’s progress and the well-being of its citizens.
