An analysis of Law 12.683/12

Money laundering is a detailed and dynamic process in which the criminal agent, through various actions, makes money from previous crimes appear to be legal. It is through this criminal activity that organised crime and other offenders profit from the proceeds of crime. This paper will ask whether, since the crime of recycling valuables is a threat to the stability of the global economy, amending Law 9.613/98 would be a way of combating money laundering, or merely an immediate measure that is not effective enough.
