Abstract

Money-laundering is one of the emerging crimes of the international community as a whole, which has failed to combat it through regional and international conventions, and directs States to incorporate into their domestic laws the criminal norms adopted by these conventions.

the importance of addressing the distinction of international criminal policy and its counterpart in the Kingdom towards the crime of money-laundering; in terms of the expansion of criminalization on both the substantive and the procedural aspects The concept of the crime of money-laundering in the Saudi regime and international law, Statement of the elements of the crime of money-laundering in the Saudi regime and international law and efforts to combat money-laundering in the Saudi regime and international law, by relying on the Saudi anti-money-laundering system International conventions on this subject, to which the Kingdom is a party, and general legal provisions relating to this crime.

One of the most prominent findings of the study was that the Saudi anti-money-laundering regime is one of the best and most explicit in the Kingdom. It is in line with international conventions on combating money-laundering, both in general criminalization and punishment, and in extending criminalization, with the Kingdom limiting banking secrecy in order to combat this crime.

The study also made many recommendations, most notably: the need to pay attention to the training aspect by adding a course in the Kingdom's law schools to teach the crime of money-laundering and its general provisions; holding symposiums and conferences; encouraging scientific research in the field of money-laundering; and amending procedural texts relating to the initiation of criminal proceedings in this offence if committed outside the Kingdom.
