Newly Established Bodies for the Protection of Public Funds in Algeria

Algeria has worked to combat corruption by establishing legal mechanisms through its ratification of international conventions and treaties related to corruption, within the framework of protecting public funds.As part of these efforts, several bodies and institutions have been created and entrusted with the task of combating corruption, namely: The High Authority for Transparency and Corruption Prevention, the Central Office for the Repression of Corruption, and the Financial Intelligence Processing Unit.Additionally, specialized judicial divisions for corruption cases have been established, along with the Economic and Financial Judicial Division to address the most complex corruption-related crimes.The measures and mechanisms introduced by the legislator to preserve public funds have contributed to the fight against corruption and its reduction.However, the effectiveness of these bodies remains dependent on the achievement of a set of standards and characteristics within their legal framework, which must translate into tangible results.This starts with strengthening the independence of these bodies and institutions to carry out their assigned duties and achieve their primary objective : the protection of public funds.
