Abstract: (122 Views) |
Background: In recent years, incidents based on corruption and embezzlement such as what happened in Debesh Tea Company have further weakened the country's economic body. The occurrence of such financial corruption disrupts the psychological security of society; something that is not given much attention. The people who cause such financial corruption with a very large amount of money in society are definitely not ordinary people in society and are white-collar criminals. In the present study, the fight against white-collar criminals in Iran is examined and ethical considerations are raised in this regard.
Conclusion: In general, the financial crimes committed by white-collar criminals in Iran can be compared to an iceberg floating in the ocean, only a part of which is visible and a large part of which is hidden. Ethical considerations are essential for addressing white-collar crimes. Organizations and legal professionals must adhere to high ethical standards to ensure compliance and maintain public trust. Promoting a culture of honesty is essential for preventing and effectively addressing white-collar crimes. The Islamic Republic has enacted laws to combat financial corruption, but what is clear is that these laws are insufficient. Based on these laws, white-collar criminals cannot be identified and fought against; even if these individuals are identified, they are not subject to appropriate punishment. A law called Chai Dabesh has been proposed to combat white-collar criminals in Iran, which attempts to outline a policy that focuses on the hidden half of the volume of financial corruption. In addition to providing a solution to identify white-collar criminals, this law also provides appropriate punishment for them |
