Abstract

There is a close relationship between money laundering and terrorist financing crimes, as the bleached money resulting from illegal sources contributes to financing terrorist organizations and actions in many countries, making many of them link between the crime of money laundering and the crime of financing terrorism in many legal texts.This link between the two crimes led to confusion between them due to the presence of many similarities between the two crimes, but at the same time there are many points of difference between them, so what are the limits of overlap between the two crimes of money laundering and terrorist financing?This is what we will try to answer in this study by addressing the concept of money laundering and terrorist financing crimes due to the clear difference between countries in defining an accurate concept of the two terms, and then show the extent of overlap between these two crimes by focusing on the similarities and differences between them.
