It is known that fraud crimes are among the crimes that have taken on a distinctive character compared to other traditional crimes, because of the elements and foundations they rest on, which centre on mental effort, inventive ingenuity and skill-based abilities, as seen in the deceptive methods and means the fraudster employs, in addition to their ability to adapt these means and methods in line with recent developments and economic, social, cultural and civilisational changes.
Methods of financial fraud crimes have become widespread, promoted by fake, fictitious or unlicensed financial entities and institutions, in order to exploit those who deal with them who are seeking quick financial wealth and to achieve profits and financial gains in the fastest possible time and by the shortest routes, or who place excessive trust in others, which may expose them to financial fraud operations and glaring material losses, and thus, at times, to financial and legal problems.
Money laundering cases in Saudi Arabia are among the important issues, used to disguise the origin of funds obtained from criminal activity, so that the money is laundered by passing it through a series of accounts and business transactions, which leads to difficulty in determining the main source of these funds.
Money laundering is the process through which the profits of corruption and crime are converted into assets that appear legitimate. It involves three stages, placement, layering and integration, with the aim of concealing the illegal origin of the funds so that they appear to have come from legitimate legal sources, in order to be used as ordinary income.
As for financial fraud in Saudi Arabia, as mentioned earlier, it is the seizure of money owned by another party without right, through acts involving the use of fraudulent methods such as deception, lying, misleading and so on.
