stipulated the exclusion of perpetrators of embezzlement, theft of state funds and intentionally wasting public money from the General Amnesty Law unless They pay the sums arranged by them before their release as a way to reduce punishment by administering criminal cases outside the framework of traditional criminal procedures, as a result of the substantive and procedural legal issues  brought about by corruption cases, perhapsthe most prominent of which is the difficulty of recovering the assaulted public money.
