Article 14 of the Saudi Money Counterfeiting Law

This is an implementation Article that specifies the authorities responsible for implementing the Law.

Those charged with implementation:

• The Prime Minister.
• The Minister of Finance and National Economy.
• The Minister of Interior.

Distribution of responsibility: each "within his remit", that is, within the competence of his body. The Article itself does not set a detailed distribution of tasks, but leaves that to the nature of each body's competence.

The presence of more than one body charged reflects the nature of the crimes the Law deals with, which relate to currency and money on one side, and to security and detecting crimes on the other, but the Article does not detail this and is content with the phrase "each within his remit".

The practical meaning is that applying this Law is a shared responsibility among more than one government body.

Note that the Article uses the title "Minister of Finance and National Economy" as worded at the time the Law was issued, and does not address later changes in ministries' names.

This Article is connected to Article 13 on the right to compensation, and Article 15, which sets the date the Law takes effect.

Anyone who needs to know the body competent for a particular procedure in a counterfeiting case is advised to consult a lawyer specializing in criminal matters.
