The Ministry of Justice and Public Security is coordinating a set of proposals to strengthen the fight against money laundering in Brazil, with cryptocurrencies explicitly included in financial investigations and in identifying the ultimate beneficiaries of suspicious transactions.

The Ministry of Justice and Public Security is drafting proposals to be sent to the National Congress with the aim of toughening legislation against organized crime.

Among the key points is the explicit inclusion of crypto assets in money laundering investigations, covering everything from the analysis of blockchain transactions to identifying the ultimate beneficiaries of wallets and transactions.

The measures also cover the recovery of digital assets obtained unlawfully, which requires law enforcement agencies to have the technical capacity to trace on-chain transactions.
