在阿尔及利亚，重罪[犯罪]的诉讼时效期限为 10 年，情节较轻的罪行[轻罪]为 3 年，轻微罪行[违规行为]为 2 年。然而，《刑事诉讼法》第 8 条之二免除了贿赂 和挪用资金案件的时效期限。此外，《防止和打击腐败法》第 54 条免除了犯罪 所得已转移到阿尔及利亚境外的腐败案件的时效期限。被告可以被缺席审判， 并可在此后被捕后重审。
In Algeria, the statute of limitations period for prosecution is ten years for high crimes [crimes], three years for lesser crimes [délits] and two years for minor crimes [contraventions]. However, article 8 bis of the Code of Penal Procedure exempts cases of bribery and misappropriation of funds from the statute of limitations period. Article 54 of the LPLCC also exempts corruption cases from the statute of limitations period in cases where the proceeds of crime have been moved outside Algerian territory. Accused persons may be tried in absentia and later retried upon arrest.
