Perhaps corruption, probably corruption.

But even more probably - straightforward theft.

Able to be tracked down? Oh, yes - very definitely.
Likely to be tracked down? You must be joking !

The reason for my posting was to trigger a debate on the Iraq war but unfortunately nobody engaged to it .... :((
