القواعد العامة للجرائم الاقتصادية في التشريع الجزائري

Abstract EN

The concept of economic crime differs from one country to another according to its political system, and whether that system is capitalist or socialist, as what is considered an economic crime in one country is a legitimate act in another country, so economic crimes are more widespread in socialist countries and developing countries than in developed and capitalist countries, As socialist countries and developing countries depend in their development plans on a policy of directing and focusing the economy, so they need a legal fence that protects them from economic crime, and this fence is provided by punitive economic legislation.

In light of the new changes in the modern era, and the emergence of patterns of behavior that represent a departure from the natural dictionary of life, societies have pushed to resort to criminalizing these patterns and imposing penalties on them, and this was more evident in the economic field, and economic crimes appeared.

It is difficult to develop a specific concept of economic crime even for countries that have enacted independent legislation on economic crime, because the attention of legislation is not focused on setting the definition of economic crime, as much as its interest is focused on identifying crimes that fall within the scope of economic crimes and methods of combating them.

It has various penalties that may be penal or non-penal, as defined by the Algerian legislator.
