صلاحيات خلية معالجة الاستعلام المالي في مواجهة جريمة تبييض الأموال

Abstract EN

In implementation of its international commitments and recommendations in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing, Algeria initiated the establishment of the Financial Intelligence Processing Unit under Executive Decree No.

02-127 of 7 April, 2002, but it did not undertake its tasks in practice except with the issuance of Law 05-01 of 6 February 2005 related to combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and the successive amendments to the texts regulating the cell reflected the desire of the Algerian legislator to adapt the legal system with international standards in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing, which would activate the role of the cell and make it work as a national center for receiving and processing information related to this crime.

As the competent authority for combating money laundering and terrorist financing, the cell has been assigned a number of basic tasks, the most important of which is receiving suspicious statements related to money laundering and terrorist financing, analyzing and processing those suspicious notifications and taking the necessary measures in this regard.
