عقوبة الغرامة النسبية و جرائم الفساد في القانون الجزائري

Abstract EN

The present study discusses the role of the proportional fine, which consists of adapting the amount of fine that must be inflicted on the culprit to the amount of profits that flow from the perpetrated offence, in combating corruption in Algeria.

For this purpose, this study will examine the applicability of the proportional fine to the corruption offences; many reasons approve its application to these offences without falling short of validity that criminal legislations must satisfy.

The main conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that proportional fine based on the amount of criminal profits as criminal punishment fits appropriately the offences of corruption mainly because of the profit nature that those offences have, although the legislator must abide by strict conditions in order to use this efficient punishment.
