Criminal policy to unjustified wealth of public officials in Iranian law

In United Nations Convention Against Corruption and other international conventions and National law having a wealth without justification by public officials it has been introduced as one of the examples of corruption. Wealth without justification or disproportionate is said to be disproportionate to the legal and recognized income of the public officials. One of the main reasons of anticipation of such a regulations in international conventions and domestic Law is the complexity of the proving of crimes related to corruption and the help of the prosecution to exempt them from the proving of crimes so as to justify the legitimacy of the property on the public officials. The penal reaction to such wealth varies in different countries. Some emphasised the wealth and the attempt to confiscate assets that are unjustified and some have emphasised the types of sanctions such as fines, imprisonment and confiscation. According to relevant laws and regulations, it can now be said that iran's law lacks a penal response to the unjustified wealth of public officials and the article 49 of Constitutional law and Article 2 of the punishment of perpetrators of bribe and embezzlement and fraud cannot be used in this regard.
