Resumo

This study examines the crime of money laundering as one of the most dangerous contemporary economic crimes, given its profound effects on financial and monetary stability, market integrity, and confidence in the legal and economic system, as well as its close connection to corruption, organized crime, and terrorism financing. The study aims to analyze the role played by private law in combating money laundering in Iraq, as a preventive and therapeutic framework complementary to public law, through the tools of invalidity of legal transactions, non-enforceability, civil liability, protection of good faith, and due diligence and compliance obligations in banking and commercial relationships. The study adopts an analytical comparative methodology by examining the Iraqi legislative framework and comparing it with the experiences of Jordan, Egypt, and France, focusing on the doctrinal and judicial development in activating civil tools to combat money laundering. The study concludes that activating private law mechanisms constitutes a fundamental pillar for enhancing the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering system in Iraq and is a necessary condition for protecting the economic public order.
