Abstract EN

Historically, the crime of money laundering is considered an ancient crime, because it is linked to a predicate crime that came before the commission of money laundering.

Arab legislation such as Emirati, Egyptian and Jordanian legislation faced this phenomenon, as did Western countries such as French, Italian and German legislation.

The study aimed to clarify the concept of money laundering and the way to reduce this phenomenon, by reading the necessary laws and legislations that deal with the crime of money laundering.

And learn about the international efforts to combat money laundering through international agreements, conferences and declarations.

The study found the definition of money laundering crimes as "an economic crime of a financial nature that works to achieve legal legitimacy for illegal funds, and the basis for their formation is to conceal their true illegal source.

"The study concluded that money laundering crimes are a criminal offence with economic implications.

And it requires constant updating because the crime of money laundering is modern and renewed.

Therefore, it is necessary to unite Arab efforts to confront this crime.

And monitor bank accounts.

The central bank must be strict in its procedures, and cancel every bank proven to be involved in carrying out terrorist operations.
