القطب الجزائي الاقتصادي والمالي كآلية لمكافحة جرائم الفساد

Abstract

Corruption is a global challenge that hinders development and threatens stability. This has prompted Algeria to adopt an integrated legal and institutional framework to combat it. The memorandum highlights the specificity of the penalties prescribed for corruption crimes, which go beyond the original penalties to include important complementary measures such as confiscation, restitution, and nullification of contracts, with the aim of stripping corrupt individuals of their illicit gains. In this context, the Economic and Financial Penal Pole represents a pivotal judicial mechanism. Thanks to the specialization of its judges and its broad powers of prosecution, investigation, and adjudication, the Pole has proven its effectiveness in confronting the complexity of organized economic and financial crimes. This contributes to deterrence and protecting the national economy, despite the challenges related to collecting evidence and recovering smuggled funds.
