Prosecutor Mohammad Razaq Totakhail says the former civil servant Mohammad Noor collected bribe money for his boss, former minister Mohammad Siddiq Chakari, and took it back to Afghanistan. He was arrested on arrival at the airport with 362,000 dollars. (20100503) Haji Mohammad Noor, who was arrested seven months back (20090900) with $362,000 at Kabul airport on his way back home from Saudi Arabia, told an open hearing of Criminal Justice task Force (CJTF) of the Counter-narcotics Ministry on Monday (20100503) the second VP Karim Khalili and the ministers were the real culprits behind the fraud. He requested the court to arrest Khalili and the seven ministers, who he did not name. He said 23 private travel agencies and Haj operation commission embezzled the amount. Khalili was part of the Haj Operation Commission which is supposed to ensure a safe travel to and from Saudi Arabia of Afghan pilgrims. Prosecutors Ibrahim Ghafori and Ahmad Rashid Totakhel who filed the case against Noor Mohammad said Noor facilitated the deal between the then Haj and Auqaf minister, Siddiq Chakari, and the private travel agencies both in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. They also accused Noor of receiving $150 from each pilgrim in Afghanistan by illegally enrolling them in traveling list and providing them accommodation in Saudi Arabia. Of the total embezzled amount through this process, the prosecutors said, $500,000 went to Chakari and 362,000 pocketed by Mohammad Noor.
