Proof of money laundering crime and its detection criteria in international and domestic documents of Iran

Money laundering is a process that occurs as a secondary crime after committing primary crimes and can also be reflected in the monetary system of countries. On the other hand, the evidence in a crime, based on a fair trial, induces principles that require the observance of the rights of the accused in this process. The burden of proving money laundering under domestic and international law suggests different approaches. Convention ﻭﻳﻦ initially presupposes the evidence of innocence and reliance on the principle of the innocence of the rationale for proving money laundering. However, in paragraph 7 of Article 5 of this Convention, in order to prove the origin of property and income and other claimed property, the burden of proof is reversed and it is the responsibility of the accused. However, this international document recommends to member states ﻧﻤﺎﻳﻨﺪ ﺍﺻﻮﻝ ﺣﻘﻮﻕ ﺧﻮﺩ ﺧﻮﺩ ﺗﺮﺗﻴﺒﺎﺗﯽ ﺭﺍ ﻧﻤﺎﻳﻨﺪ ﻧﻤﺎﻳﻨﺪ. In Iran, according to Article 1 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law, there are two different provisions in the field of evidence. In other words, on the one hand, it pays attention to the principle of correctness, and on the other hand, it refers to the possession statistic. Therefore, in the legislative approaches of the country, the principle of innocence and proving a crime by a judicial official can be investigated.
