Abstract

The crime of manipulation of securities prices is one of the most serious crimes that fall on securities because they pose a serious danger to the national economy of the state and the economy of investors and financial confidence as an economic crime and characterized by activity of a special nature distinguish them from the rest of the crimes.It is clear from the research that this crime takes several forms in the commission of the crime, each of which constitutes a crime in itself, such as image transactions, buying with the intention of monopoly and exploitation of investor confidence. Securities and the artificial fixation of securities prices.And we have reached through the research to the most important features characterized by the crime of manipulation of securities prices characterized by diversity and innovation and the continuing innovation in the way to commit because these methods committed by professionals who are difficult to prove evidence against their actions committed where they often implement these acts through the formation of organized gangs Working to divide roles among themselves to facilitate their commission and resort to these methods to avoid falling under the law.And that the material element in the crime of manipulation of securities prices is criminal behavior with dangerous consequences, as the legislator works to prevent potential dangerous consequences in the field of securities trading criminalizing a number of acts with dangerous consequences, unlike in criminal laws, . The moral element in this crime has gone out on the rules established for the moral pillar in the other crimes and has not been subject to the provisions prescribed inThe general law, since the existence of this element is assumed in these crimes, because these crimes are material crimes sufficient for the commission of the criminal act without investigating whether the act was intentionally or wrongly and that these crimes have no basis other than the moral element. Which is to be adhered to, and the legislator therefore places a legal presumption on the availability of the error, which is a simple presumption which can be proved to the contrary, which the accused can refute by proving the choice of the wrong committed by him.
