Abstract
The current interpretation of the last part of Article 2 of the Law on Intensifying Punishment for Perpetrators of Embezzlement, Bribery, and Fraud, approved by the Expediency Discernment Council in 1988, entails two conclusions. First, the sentence or in general, acquiring money or funds in a manner that lacks legal legitimacy is a general and general ruling that also includes the first part of the article. Second, acquiring money in any manner that lacks legal legitimacy is a crime and punishable. It seems that this interpretation is not only inconsistent with the text of the article, but also conflicts with the principle of legality of crime and punishment.
