Abstract

Money laundering is the loss of the illegitimate source of illegal incomes that have harmful effects on the international and domestic level in social, political, economic, and security fields, and many international conventions, including the Vienna and Palermo Conventions, have emphasized criminalization and combating it, and in domestic law, the law against money laundering in Iran is a practice as a Identify criminal behavior. In Imamiyya jurisprudence, there are reliable jurisprudential traditions and rules that can be ruled against the criminalization of money laundering. The ruling of Imam Ali is one of the jurisprudential examples of fighting this phenomenon. This research has analyzed the legal and jurisprudential base of money laundering by looking at international documents, which all of them indicate prohibition of such behavior and the permission to confront it.
