استرداد العائدات الإجرامية

Abstract EN

States and governments are working nationally and internationally to combat corruption of all types and at all levels.

Their endeavor is driven by the preventive measures set forth by the International Convention against Corruption as well as the punitive or administrative domestic legislative systems.

Despite these efforts, corruption crimes are on the rise, especially with the economic difficulties imposed by many factors.

Among all corruption types, the criminal risk of funds smuggling overseas is very high.

Furthermore, it is aggravated by the difficulty to recover the funds by countries seeking to combat corruption.

Retrieving criminal proceeds from countries where monies have been hidden in bank accounts or through investments in various and varied projects.

The aim of the study is, thus, to examine the legal avenues available for the recovery of these funds through the 2003 Anti-Corruption Convention as well as Law 06/01 on the prevention and control of corruption.
