Abstract
In 2012, the Guardian
Council of Islamic Republic of Iran has affirmed a law that contains issues
with regard to recognition of the penal liability of the public legal entities.
Accordingly, the criminal law of oil and gas industries entered into the country’s
legal system. Since this law has commercial, industrial, economic and penal aspects,
it might be said that would be covered by the commercial penal branch of the
law. From Industrial and technical perspective, oil and gas crimes are divided
into crimes related to oil and gas and crimes against them. Based on the time
of crimes, they are divided into three categories: discovery-related,
production-related and distribution and sale-related. The most significant
basis for Iran’s penal law of oil and gas is the Act of Protection of the Oil
Industry against Disruption and Damage and the New Islamic Penal Law, section
Ta’zir. By comparing the Act to the article 19 in the New Islamic Penal law,
this article attempts to examine the various aspects of the oil-related crimes
including the substantial dimension of those crimes as well as their most
important cases. Finally the article highlights the significance of theoretical
and applied studies in this legal field and solutions for oil-related crimes.
