Algeria has enacted new legislation restricting commercial activity for individuals convicted of specific crimes. The law, published Sunday, prohibits registration on the commercial registry and the practice of trade for those with convictions related to money laundering and terrorism financing. Specifically, the restrictions apply to convictions for forgery of documents, fraud, embezzlement, abuse of confidence, illicit enrichment, and participation in criminal organizations. This measure aims to strengthen Algeria’s efforts to combat financial crimes and associated risks. The law, numbered 26-12 and dated June 8, 2026, represents a tightening of regulations regarding commercial practices. Authorities hope the legislation will disrupt illicit financial flows and enhance national security.
