Criminal Protection of Bank Accounts in Iraqi Law

Abstract

Abstract: This paper is critically examining the criminal protection of bank accounts in the Iraqi legal system. The paper is considering a number of crimes against bank accounts, including fraud, theft, forgery, and cybercrime, and discussing the application of the current law and enforcement issues involved. The report describes how economic crime has evolved in the information and technology age and whether existing law is adequate to combat current threats. Additionally, it addresses investigation and prosecution problems and provides concrete recommendations on legal reform, including the establishment of specialized cybercrime units and enhancing international collaboration. The research follows a doctrinal analysis, based on the Iraqi Penal Code, Banking Law, and literature to construct an effective model for the criminal protection of bank accounts.
