Abstract
Economic crime has affected all social levels including the economic system and dealing with economic crime as a global concern has been a constant concern of agents and custodians of countries' criminal policies. Due to its complex nature and the influence of numerous political, economic and social factors and for this reason, it is of great importance. Dealing with economic crime has always been the concern of agents and those in charge of criminal policies in countries. Iran's criminal law in combating economic crimes from various aspects, including determining the concept, scope and legal examples of economic crime, meeting the conditions for the realization of economic crime, the possibility of issuing a temporary order in cases of economic crimes, the Jurisdiction of the courts and the passage of time of economic crimes, is facing with ambiguity, challenge and inefficiency. The current research, which is based on a descriptive-analytical library method, has dealt with the pathology of ambiguities and challenges in the field of economic crimes. The findings indicate that the legislator should while explaining and revising the concept, examples and scope of economic crime, determine the economic crime detection code and clear the legal ambiguities that have caused confusion in the judicial procedure; Therefore, with the aim of eliminating confusion in the judicial procedure, suggestions have been made to amend relevant legal articles in cases where the law has gaps or defects.
