Central Bank of Iraq Robbery
Based in Baghdad, Iraq, the Central Bank of Iraq holds one of the biggest heists known to humankind. This heist also involves a very powerful and controversial man: Saddam Hussein. It was at this point in time that Hussein was in the height of his dictatorship, attempting to do whatever he wanted with this regime. Of course, he wasn’t opposed to robbing his ‘own’ bank, too. In 2003, the bank was robbed by his son via a handwritten note by Saddam himself.
