NEW YORK,— A leaked document obtained by Ekurd Daily reveals that payments under oil contract have been paid not to Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government but to two private foreign company accounts in UAE.

The documented dated June 13, 2008 from Kurdistan’s Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) requesting Komet group S.A. in Moldova to send oil contract payments to two accounts of Ocean Energy FZE, a private company, in United Arab Emirates.

The date of signing the oil contract which is June 20, 2008 – the Effective date. All payments under the contract in its Article 32 are to be made either within 30 days from the Effective date or much later after commercial discovery of oil. The letter is dated June 13, 2008 one week before the contract. The actual payment was done also before signing the contract. So it looks like a bribe.

Ekurd Daily will release more documents in the near future.
