On the 26th July, Taurus, an oil company, transfer $740,000 to Zureikat, Galloways appointed representative in Iraq.

And, as shown in the following wire transfer, just days later Zureikat transfers $150,000 of the Taurus payment to Galloways wife:

On the same day Zureikat also transfers $340,000 to Galloways personal campaign chest as show in the wire transfer below:

Zureikat's transfer to Galloway's wife must have contained Oil-for-Food-related money. At the time of the transfer to Galloway's wife, Zureikat's Citibank account carried a balance of $848,683.11. The relevant portions of the Statement of Account for Zureikat's Citibank account are reproduced below.

The overwhelming majority of that balance was directly related to oil transactions under the Oil-for-Food Program $70,000 had been deposited by Delta Services Ltd. in connection with the Phase VII contract, M/07/83, and $740,000 had come from the Taurus payment related to M/08/35. Therefore, Zureikat's account contained only $38,000 that was potentially unrelated to the Oil-for-Food Program.
