Within the Anti-Corruption Program and under the supervision of Professor Dr. Alaa Nafeh Jassim, Director of the Center, the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage at the University of Baghdad organized a workshop entitled (Money Laundering Crime) on Tuesday morning, September 24, 2024, in the hall of Professor Nabila Abdel Moneim Daoud, in the presence of a number of professors and researchers. The lecture was given by the Legal Advisor (Manal Faeq Abbas) and the Legal Advisor (Manaf Ahmed Shaalan) / Federal Integrity Commission, speaking about money laundering, which aims to give a legal character to the funds that represent the proceeds of crimes and their returns, regardless of the type of crime committed and the description of the perpetrator. It is a process resorted to by those working in drug trafficking and transnational and non-organized organized crimes to hide the unreal source of illegal (dirty) money and to camouflage it to give legitimacy to illegal income. The speakers emphasized the crimes that harm the national economy and the national anti-money laundering laws and international agreements, including the Convention against Drug Trafficking and the (Palermo) Convention to Combat Crimes The transnational organization aims to prevent the concealment of the true source of illegally acquired funds and to protect companies that are exploited in money laundering crimes without realizing it. Combating money laundering is part of economic development procedures. In conclusion, the director of the center thanked the lecturers for giving attention to important topics that are considered contemporary problems, hoping to raise these issues in workshops and discussion groups in the future
